I enjoyed the services at this hotel. The food was so delicious and their pool is very clean and the staffs are so friendly. I had a wonderful time and I will definitely have this place in mind every time I need a place to relax and have fun.

The pool is good. However, service at the poolside is horrible horrible horrible. They are understaffed even on expected busy periods like weekends. Do not visit if you have hungry kids. If you ask for a certain brand of soft drink, the next time you can’t get the same because it is not available. Such a waste for a well built facility.
