Love the hotel!! Room was amazing and so was the location - loved every part of my stay. Only little thing is that they make you pay a heritage fee around 3RM per night which we weren’t aware of.

The hotel was new, service was good, it was a 5 star stay. There is currently a small construction site next to the hotel at the moment, a little noisy when swimming, other than this I would recommend this hotel.
