They welcome you during check in with a bottle of cold water. Breakfast is excellent and includes fresh coconut juice as well as other standard items.
Very nice veranda for informal meetings near the pool.
Pick up and drop from airport was very efficient.
The park next door is an amazing place - must be enjoyed.
Altogether a relaxing and efficient stay
Good location and friendly service. Cleanliness is OK.
However the hotel is being refurbished in spite of the need for a full renovation. Doesn't comply with a 4 star hotel by Southern Sun. Serious issue with ventilation as the main lobby and restaurant area smell like fish. Corridors and rooms smell fungus, and I had to keep the room window open all the time.
