    limited seating
    dim lighting

    Rooftop pool area severely lacking in sun shade options!!! Limited seating creates a scramble for space on busy days. The ambiance in the lobby feels uninviting with dim lighting — needs a brighter touch!!!

    friendly staff
    hot water issue

    The hotel staff was absolutely friendly, attentive and helpful, but

    the hot water in the shower could have been warmer. The location was ideal, close to the walled city, making it easy to explore. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and the amenities offered.

    great views , but some inconsistencies

    The rooftop terrace offered stunning panoramic views that enhanced my stay significantly. The staff were genuinely friendly, always eager to help, which made a big difference. The breakfast spread was impressive, with a diverse variety of both hot and cold dishes , especially the local specialties that took me by surprise.

    The overall experience was great , but I did notice some minor inconsistencies in room maintenance.

    breakfast paradise

    Stunning, stunning, stunning.

    I was totally blown away by the vibes here! The rooftop pool with breathtaking views of Bocagrande was the perfect place to unwind. Plus, the vibrant breakfast spread was a fresh paradise—12-15 fruit varieties, anyone?

    Would recommend ❤️❤️

    fresh fruits
    rooftop pool
    welcoming staff
    snug room
    lack of umbrellas

    The breakfast spread was a dream—fresh fruits galore and killer pastries to kickstart the day! The rooftop pool? A total vibe for chillin' with a cocktail after a day of exploring. Can't forget the welcoming staff—they turned every encounter into a smile fest!

    The room was a snug fit, and I wished for bigger options! Plus, a few umbrellas around the poolside chairs would have been clutch for keeping cool when the sun was blazing.

    The rooftop breakfast was wonderful, offering fresh juices and delicious fried eggs! 😍 However, my room was small and facing an internal wall, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, a lovely experience!
