Very friendly staff. We liked the convenience of the location as it is fast to get to the airport and also the car rental stations are right next to it. This convenience however comes!naturally with the little disadvantage of the usual airport noise.

Absolutely perfect! The facilities are first class, clean and well maintained, but it is the helpful and friendly staff who make it so special. The front desk staff were perfect, and the chef at the free breakfast, Minor, showed us around all the wonderful new fruits, and Tifara helped us arrange a late check out to coincide with our shuttle. We will be coming back! BTW the outdoor gardens are beautiful and worth a walk, tidy landscaping
