Overall very worth the stay
Pros:

I had a great stay at the hotel. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. The airport transfer was punctual and well organized, and the breakfast offered a good variety of options. The room service dinner was also delicious. A special thank you to the reception staff for their outstanding hospitality and helpfulness throughout my stay.

Cons:

The only issue was that the bathroom floor always seemed to have water on it, maybe due to a leak. I mentioned this before checking out. Kindly look into it, as it could be a safety hazard and someone might slip.

Pros:

Breakfast was a little limited. Staff were great and the facilities were great. Not as great as advertised but if you are looking for a place to rest and just go about your place it is great!

Cons:

The pillow casings were a bit old as well as the bedsheets. More options at breakfast would also be great especially to accomodate all tastes and not just local cuisine.
