I stayed at this resort three times and was able to enjoy many of the features, including the great breakfast and dinner options onsite. The rooms are comfortable, and the pools look nice and suitable for families. It's not really walkable to the CBD but it's only a short Uber or bus ride away.,

We only stayed the 1 night arriving late and leaving early for the airport so didn't try the restaurant or breakfast. Friendly staff at the front desk. Room upstairs way on other side of entry was good and clean. View of the pool was lovely, a shame we didn't get the chance to use it. Spotted a few of the very small cockroaches in the room while there and a dead dried one in the sheets everything else was clean and tidy with extra towels. Would stay there again if we got the chance.
