"My experience was good unfortunately when you reserved more days they bring up the price not nice you want to be nice to locals but they rise up the price.
The air conditioning should have bern on before I entered the room but its ok it didnt make noise so thst is a big plus.
The lock in washroom was destroy no shower gel just shampoo had shower no hot water during the day at night yes. I stayed because it was
clean no smell no bug and staff was very nice. The casher at the restaurant was very jice and the waiters. Their coffee is hortible but Benjn pine apple the best in the world.
Unfortunately no ATM machine comaptible eith Cabadian cards. I had to go to sofitel every day for that they have a money exchange but they didnt have small change.

Food at the hotel was very good. I tasted the breakfast and room service. Both with a good selection of food. Overall, I am very happy with my say and would come and stay again."

Bravo à toute l’équipe !"
