This hotel is very comfortable. The rooms and bathrooms are very big. And the surrounding is very quiet too. The food buffet from breakfast to dinner is a wide variety and very yummy. If you are not one for the buffet the menu is also very inspired. But their best assets are the very helpful and friendly staff. Especially Mayan who goes the extra mile to make sure you are looked after. She was constantly making sure everything was on point. A shoutout too to the hotel manager who made it a point to always come great and make sure my stay was enjoyable. I will surely visit again.
