The resort's location near the lap pool on the bottom level was great for a family of four. The rooms were generously sized and impeccably clean, but being on a main road made it noisy at night. The service was incredibly efficient and helpful, though navigating the parking lot was challenging. The location, although isolated, suited me perfectly, offering easy access to a supermarket, but some might find it too far from the center. Dining options were limited and overpriced, but the facilities were satisfactory.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with clean and spacious rooms featuring a comfortable bed, although some dated aspects and carpet stains. The service was exceptional with the staff going out of their way to be helpful. The location was a bit out of the main city but convenient for those with a car. Dining was decent with some good value options at $15 per person. Overall, a good choice for a comfortable and friendly stay.

The 'free' parking was a bit misleading as it involved parking on the curb across the street. The facilities were sufficient but not exceptional.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the rooms were clean and looked newly renovated, the noise from the main motorway was quite bothersome, and parking was a bit of a hassle. The service was a mixed bag with some friendly and helpful staff but also some issues with additional charges. The location was convenient but had its drawbacks like being unable to sleep in past sunrise. The dining experience was satisfying with good options, and the facilities were average.

The hotel had basic rooms but was much quieter, good, and clean. It would have been more convenient if there was a restaurant on-site. The service was very friendly and helpful overall, but the early wake-up calls were bothersome. The central location was fantastic, but having a car would be necessary. The dining options were satisfactory, although improvements in variety and pricing could enhance the experience. The hotel featured nice facilities, notably with two swimming pools offering different styles.

The hotel rooms were always clean, equipped with plenty of tea and coffee facilities, but the air conditioning was smelly and very loud. Despite getting bitten by sand flies in the room, the saving grace was the delicious breakfast priced at $15 per person. However, the room was infested with ants, and the mid-week stay for reef exploration ended on a sour note with rude reception but a redeeming gesture of a free buffet breakfast.
