8.4/10 Very Good! (1,004 reviews)

Breakfast was good but lacking variety. You pretty much got the same things every day. Flooring around the breakfast area needs a bit of work as it was patched up with tape in many areas. Staff seem okay but not that enthusiastic. Rooms were clean but close to the swimming pool where twice there were private functions taking place with loud music playing till late night. Overall a decent experience but would not call it outstanding given its a 5 star property.
