We were looking for a home base with views and these needs were met. We requested a Penthouse and this was provided on the second floor with slightly obstructed views from the trees across the road. Overall a lovely stay :)

Very impressed with the room and decor. Great value. Lovely pool area and spa. Unfortunately the spa stopped working. $20 a night voucher for dining or bar. No where to sit encourages people to drink in their room. Dining basic but good to have an offer. Staff friendly apart from 1 on reception when we arrived. Would recommend friends to stay here.

Have stayed here a number of times,but this time the room was a little on the small size. Girl on reception was very helpful and very friendly. Secure underground parking. The only issue was they were short staffed and their restaurant was not open. It was a saturday night also.
