Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, although clean and well-equipped, had some smells possibly from the drainage. The so-called 'Jr Suite' was quite tiny and only consisted of one room. The early morning noise from other guests was bothersome, but the room with a balcony overseeing the pool and town was lovely. Free WiFi throughout the hotel was a plus.
The hotel has a nice homely feel with free WiFi in the cave bedroom on the roof. The service is top-notch, especially in making special arrangements like sending belongings to the airport. The location offers fantastic views and easy access to the city center and nearby attractions. Dining is a delight with a variety of choices including free breakfast. Despite some shortcomings in the dining experience, the overall value for money is great.
