The hotel is situated in a lovely tropical garden within a private gated estate, providing a serene atmosphere. The rooms are modern and spacious, making for a comfortable stay. I appreciated the cleanliness and attention to detail, although the amenities could use some enhancement. On the downside, the dining experience was quite basic, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it's a peaceful retreat, but it would benefit from some upgrades in certain areas.
