The property and the service is very adequate, attractive and it brings light to the business. This hotel is also very organized. It was a great pleasure being there throughout the stay. Food was very good and you had many choices to choose from. Guyanese dishes as well as Chinese dishes. Only breakfast is all inclusive and when you’re finished with breakfast with last you throughout the day. The few concerns and complaints I have is that the majority of the staff doesn’t speak English and it’s difficult to have a conversation with them . Also, the night before existing, my cousin missed her diamond earrings that she had in her bag. Of course the conversation was very difficult to understand to them. Upon exiting on the next day, I went to the desk for questioning about her valuables. I was told the manager/supervisor was not available. That gave me a bad taste in my mouth because there was no resolution as to how she would be compensated. However, besides the mishap, everything went well. P.S. please use the safe upon arrival if this hotel is your choice. Thanks in advance.
