My stay at the villa was delightful, with a well-maintained bathroom and a spacious room featuring a large bed with a comfortable mattress. The staff responsible for exchanging foreign currency were incredibly friendly and accommodating, although somewhat clueless about Booking. The location was fantastic, nestled in a vast, nature-filled area and conveniently close to the airport. The dining experience, unfortunately, left much to be desired with limited options available. On the bright side, the facilities were top-notch.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable and clean with a spacious bed, although the size of the room was a bit small for a regular double room.

The location was convenient being close to the airport, which was great for early flights. However, the lack of breakfast was a downside.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with a well-maintained bathroom and a lovely hall, although they were not as clean as expected and had very poor air conditioning. The large bed with a good mattress was a plus. The service ranged from unhelpful to accommodating, including initial confusion with the exchange rate but friendly staff who catered to our needs. The location, while close to the airport with beautiful gardens, was also uncomfortable due to noise from birds and fruit trees. The dining experience was average without breakfast options, and the facilities were satisfactory.
