I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which is situated beautifully on a hilly area, offering stunning views. The rooms were spacious and came with a balcony and jacuzzi, perfect for watching the sunsets. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive. However, the dining options could use an upgrade, and the Wi-Fi wasn’t complimentary, which was a bit of a letdown.
