helpful staffearly check-incomplimentary breakfastpatio view

i was charmed by the receptionist staff. they were pretty good too ensure we had a wonderful stay. we booked very last minute and arrived early, but the staff did everything possible to get a room ready. the breakfast is very good and complimentary, i loved it! the views on the patio while relaxing and having breakfast can't be beat.

The air conditioning did not work at all. i could hear the fan but it didn't cool the room at all. the room temperature was always around 32 degrees celsius. It was so hot that we couldn't sleep.

poor air conditioningcramped bathroom

The air conditioning barely worked. It was difficult to get the room to a comfortable temperature. the bathroom was also quite small and felt a bit cramped. the breakfast offered limited variety, i hoped for more local specialties, but there were the same items every day. It seemed to take a long time between floors.
