This hotel provides exclusive amenities that made my stay luxurious. the staff was exceptional and fulfilled all my needs. the Spa & wellness centre was a perfect getaway for relaxation and the private facilities added an extra touch of exclusivity.
The location lacked variety and there were limited options for entertainment. However, the outdoor swimming pool area offered a great space for relaxation and the garden area was well maintained.
