We really enjoyed our stay. The internal architecture was interesting. The staff was very helpful and friendly. They were quite flexible when we needed to change our plans.
Eric, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The staff were amazing, very helpful and attentive. The only downside was that the pool was being repaired so we couldn’t swim. Will stay there again though.

Over and beyond

Everything was Top 10...The T.V needs more than 9 channels but the staff was Top 10..Asante
Rochelle, 6-night trip

6/10 Okay

I stayed at the property for one week. The rooms were spacious but dated. Some fixtures need to be replaced (stained carpets, mosquito netting, shower curtains). Appeared to be mold on bathroom ceiling, and dead insect in bathroom on check-in. However, staff extremely friendly and restaurant was very good, although expensive by local standards. Wifi was sometimes inconsistent. Overall, I rate stay as average.
David, 9-night trip

6/10 Okay

The building is quite beautiful and has potential but the air conditioning didn’t work and water quality was very poor. We also had locked our room and found it unlocked the day we were checking out but no staff around - made us feel uneasy

Ok but would not stay again

Probably would not stay again if I had a choice. Room door had a class panel on top which let light in at night and couldn't be changed. Plus you could hear noise from hallway. Bathroom shower area had some mold, etc. and needed a refresh. Restaurant was alright. Food took a long time to get. Breakfast was ok, nothing special. Staff was friendly and helpful.
