"Generally it was a great spot and I’d go Back again. Sadly, on a Friday afternoon we went out to the pool and as it was cooler being the start of rainy season, the bar was closed which was disappointing. Also was hoping for more amazing fruit on the breakfast buffet given the location, but the pineapple that was there was fantastic. Otherwise was a great place."

"Pleasantly surprised to find this quality of a hotel property, at this price, so close to Biblica Hospital. Our suite was clean, with a loft, king bed and full bathroom in loft. The lower level had an induction flatop, full sink, microwave and mini fridge. Secure underground parking was also complimentary. The hotel appears to have been recently upgraded and the quality of materials, fixtures and workmanship was exceptional. The free breakfast was fast and very good with multiple selections available, with full table service. The front desk staff were efficient and very helpful with directions on eating establishments within walking distance of the property. We will be returning to this property on our next trip to the area."
