“Excellent service!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 23, 2013

We just spend a few nights at a deluxe room. Pretty standard but good value for money. The rooms are a bit old but all is working and the beds are very good! And excellent service of the staff. If something is missing or needed they come right over to bring it to the room or pool. We left our phone in the moonlight bar which is a separate entity and they did everything they could to reach the staff of the bar to come in early to help us out before we checked out that day. Got the phone back!!

“Nice hotel but the location sucks!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 15, 2013

Think about the price I'm paying for ..everything was ok about the hotel.There's a mini market behind of the hotel...a walking distance of food court there but not much choice..the only complaint I have is the location of it sucks for a traveller like me without a car .Its very inconvenience to get around the city because there isn't any public transport near-by the hotel other than those taxi.

Room Tip: A higher floor would be a good view =)
