The hotel is short distance from downtown; walking or by cab. We walked into town and took cabs back. The front desk staff are so helpful. The breakfast buffet is very very good. There is an abundance of places to eat dinner near the hotel. Great little kitchenette area with fridge. If you are a hotel pool person this hotel is great.

Not ideal with building construction or demolition going going on, I came to relax, not have my head pounded by hammers, drills and dust. Thankfully the reception team took pity on us and transferred us to another. To have been advised in advance would have bee n a good idea, rather than attempting to sell transfers from the airport!

All good, I used the hotel to explore island and was close to transport routes local buses, tourist buses and quick to get a Bolt cab. Had cooking facilities in room, so I didn’t have to wait around for breakfast (or get up early on chill days) Sea view from balcony was good.

Check-in at 3:00pm after coming in 11:00am to notify needed parking. Came in 2:45pm to try get car parked in time for 3:00pm. Room was not ready until 3:15pm. Parking lot is difficult and many unauthorized cars allowed in taking spots of paying customers. Very bad and this ultimately forced me to squeeze into a tight parking last night of trip. Causing damage to car just to get gas. Have not heard back from hotel management 2nd day after reporting in incident..
