All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Breakfast isn’t worth adding to your booking for $30 each as if you just walk into the restaurant in the morning it’s only $24 each.
Breakfast is just continental doesn’t include hot food, which is an extra $10 and barista coffee is also an extra.
Thar stay was very relaxing and just what we needed.
