Beautiful hotel!

Beautiful hotel. Very peaceful and quiet. Safe and secure. Staffs are kind and welcoming. The hotel itself, like the welcome desk, outdoors, and restaurant were immaculate. My only complain was: Food was too costly for the portions. The bed sheets in my room weren't the cleanest, had very noticeable stains, not the cleanest room that I got. The pool is small, looks more like a water fountain.

The hotel was very nice. The staff was friendly and professional. They offered a few items for sale at the front desk. They had a small restaurant and bar, but did not offer a lot food, but good if you just want a snack. There are good restaurants within walking distance and many tourist attractions as well. We really liked our room, which had a large window overlooking the pool. The pool was small and too cold (for me) to swim in, but pretty and enjoyable listening to the small waterfall feature. Nice outdoor sitting area in the center of the hotel to enjoy a beverage or read and relax.
