I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were nicely decorated with attention to detail and spacious, providing a comfortable experience. The two pools available were a great addition to unwind. The amazing open buffet breakfast offered a variety of delicious and exotic fruits, eggs, bread, and sausages. However, the room was too humid, making it uncomfortable for those with respiratory problems without A/C. There was a strange smell from insecticide, and the Wi-Fi didn't reach the room.
