Very comfy room

Beautiful swimming pool

Tropical ambience around the pool
The other facility that we love while we were staying in this hotel a while ago was the Waterside, a poolside restaurant that features an ocean view. But when I was looking on their
website, it says that the restaurant was temporarily closed. I hope they will open the restaurant soon as we enjoyed its a la carte menu.
