Reviews and Ratings
The resort is nestled amongst lush tropical gardens, offering a peaceful ambiance but located in the sleazy suburb of Manunda. The rooms are spacious and modern with convenient facilities like a microwave and lounge chairs, providing a comfortable stay. The service was exceptional, with offerings of upgrades and late check-outs, making my experience truly delightful. The dining experience was a highlight, with Mediterranean dishes at a special price and the added treat of gluten-free pumpkin toast. However, the proximity to a scary pizza restaurant was a downside to the otherwise great location.
