the hotel was very nice with great staff. had all the facilities you need with a nice breakfast in the mornings. just a short distance in taxi to the town. not the best to walk because of all the traffic about but still only around 15/20min walk to shops and restaurants. the hotel was clean.

    Breakfast was ok - but there could have been a much better selection of juices available. There was only x1 per day, I expected more from a 5 star hotel. Also at dinner they made me sit on a shared table which I didn’t want to do because they had closed off an area.
