We had 2 rooms, a deluxe king and a family room. Both were excellent. Beautiful views from the balcony of the king room. The pool looked very inviting. Sadly we didnt have long enough to use it. Had a meal in the restaurant downstairs which was excellent. Highly recommended

The entrance looks glamorous and service was great how ever the rooms were smaller than the photos. Also didn’t realise there was no view from the room only a car park. We didn’t like the door leading out to car park as it felt unsafe - couldn’t open window due to car park noise and smokers the air con appeared to be faulty -

Cockroach in the room. Pictures don’t reflect the condition of the room very old facilities and bathroom found long hairs on the floor carpet was old and appeared stained and dirty. Shower in the bathtub was slippery my daughter slipped over not easy access for kids or older people. Got room service and the prawns and squid were not cooked properly and the prawns tasted off the staff did give me a refund on it though as it was inedible. For the price they charge I expected better quality/newer room but was more like cheaper roadside motel unfortunately.
