Comfortable stay with incredible views
Pros:

Staff were fantastic, so welcoming and friendly. Couldn't do enough for us. It's a very new, clean hotel, with very comfy beds. The pool was a nice treat and the views from the restaurant were stunning. Food in the restaurant was good, the breakfast was a little basic but still very varied.

Cons:

Not much we didnt like. It's a bit of a walk up the hill but that gave us amazing views on their rooftop restaurant and to be fair you could easily get a tuk tuk, they're everywhere, easy to catch just outside hotel.
