It’s close to the airport, staffs are friendly. I highly recommend this hotel to family with kids, the pools are very nice. Also there is a pier to islands, it’s convenient.

Very nice hotel near the airport with comfortable rooms and good food. The only thing I didn’t like was the Al the children focused playgrounds and swimming pool and game room etc. Definitely a family oriented hotel.

We went for a long weekend, the location was great which allowed us to maximize our time. Only 10-15 minutes from the airport. The rooms are comfortable and property is beautiful. The food is okay, but not great. There's nothing nearby so you must eat all your meals here. Breakfast is a big buffet with lots of choice. Loved the yoga offered on the weekend. So sad that such a big hotel, can't offer yoga on other days as well. The spa is very beautiful.

We spent our Christmas at this hotel. Service was very good, all staff helpful no matter the subject. Hotel is calm and relaxing, perfect for re-creation. My son just loves the pool area for kids, which kept him busy for hours each day. But prices are little on the high end, especially since a 20 mins taxi drive away offers 50% lower prices on food and beverages.
