I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooftop restaurant offers stunning views and the food is excellent, especially their Indian and Chinese dishes. On the downside, the pool area and certain facilities didn't match what I expected from the pictures and my room had issues with air conditioning and water leakage. Despite the amazing staff, my stay was marred by several inconveniences.

My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. While I appreciated the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms, I faced significant issues with the service and facilities. The location was perfect, close to the harbor and shops, but some parts of the hotel felt quite neglected, which dampened the overall experience.

Rooms

The rooms were clean and comfortable, arranged daily with fresh flowers, which was a lovely touch. However, the size was on the smaller side.

Service was hit or miss. While housekeeping was excellent, the front desk staff was quite rude and unhelpful, which really affected my stay.

Situated conveniently near the harbor and just a short walk from various shops and amenities, the location was a definite highlight.

The rooftop restaurant offered a lovely view and was enjoyable, but service there lagged during breakfast times, which was disappointing.
