From the moment we arrived, it was clear this was no ordinary hotel. We spent three wonderful nights here, and every aspect of our stay exceeded expectations. A special mention must go to the staff — especially Raya, along with everyone we had the pleasure of meeting. They are truly the heart and soul of this place. Warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about hospitality, they consistently went above and beyond. Whether it was a thoughtful recommendation, a friendly chat in the lobby, or anticipating our needs before we even expressed them, the team delivered a level of service that many hotels aspire to but rarely achieve. Simply exceptional. The food was equally impressive and deserves the highest praise. Breakfast each morning was a delight — fresh, beautifully presented, and of outstanding quality. This standard carried through to every meal, each dish prepared with the care and creativity you would expect from a top-tier restaurant rather than a hotel kitchen. Every dining experience was memorable. Our room was immaculate throughout — elegantly designed, spotlessly clean, and incredibly comfortable. The kind of space you find yourself looking forward to returning to at the end of the day. The location was the perfect finishing touch, offering stunning surroundings that elevated an already remarkable stay. Three nights felt far too short. Exceptional in every sense — we cannot recommend this place highly enough, and we are already looking forward to returning. Read less

Definitely not a 5 star. It’s an average hotel. Rohit at the reception, Jhen Rick at Aqua Bar and Renalyn at the turquoise restaurant were the only 3 staff members who were good.
