The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Breakfast

The breakfast spread was impressive! I loved the English breakfast, which reminded me of home. The option to serve myself an endless supply of coffee, tea, and cereals was an added bonus. It truly set a positive tone for my day.

Spacious and Comfortable

My room was spacious, clean, and smelled wonderful throughout my stay. The bed was large with plenty of pillows, perfect for a restful night after a day of exploring. Plus, the air conditioning was incredibly effective given the warm temperatures.

Ideal for Meetings

I held a meeting in their cozy outdoor conference facility. It comfortably accommodated all our guests, and after our meeting, we enjoyed a delicious lunch that was perfectly prepared. It felt like a home-cooked meal, making the experience even more enjoyable.
