This was a wonderful place to stay surrounded by parks and splash parks for the children. The pools at the hotel were not heated so the splash parks were a good choice. Staff was so friendly and helpful, really enjoyed our stay.

Great location and the staff were excellent. Spacious room and very comfortable bed. Shower over the (slippery) bath difficult for older travellers but the shower itself was excellent. Maybe a bit more storage would be good for longer stays. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend.

Location is great, easy walk distance to the esplanade, night market..etc. We stayed in a double/queen suite. The room is a bit dated. It would be great if parking is free for the guests, we had to pay extra for the period of 8 days staying.
