Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location of property is fantastic . Property very specious with excellent view. Area that needs improvement is communication with staff which is a bit hectic since they do not understand English except the Manager. Therefore, in the absence of Manager it is very difficult to communicate with staff. Entertainment of guests should also be improved (Working TV) to keep them abreast of world news
