My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The suite room was spacious with excellent views of the pool. The room had a kitchenette, tea maker, and fridge. It was large and comfortable, with a large double bed, sitting area, separate kitchen area, a nice shower/toilet, and a private balcony with views over tropical palms. However, being on the first floor meant one side faced the pool while the other faced the main road.
