Good review
Hotel room was quite nice. The dinner menu for New Year’s Eve was excellent. Service wasn’t that great. VERY slow. When I asked for a napkin to dry a little spilled water, the waitperson said, “Here’s a napkin to clean up the mess you made.” Skip the breakfast buffet! Front reception staff very helpful.

Quick decision to stay the night and selected this place as it had somewhere to eat as well. Room was on main road big easy access to restaurant and bar. Only issue was the sand flies.
