The breakfast was delicious and the staff were very friendly. The pool and gardens looked great. The only downside was the noise from a cistern that seemed to run all night and then the early morning traffic noise, but I would recommend. ##### Charmaine Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Aug 16, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2017 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Aug 2, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2017 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jul 24, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2017
