Opt for a Room with a View

Consider Online Check-in and Check-out

Guests appreciated the efficiency of the online check-in and check-out system. It's worth considering to save time during arrival and departure.

Be Mindful of Noise Levels

Some guests noted that the hotel can get noisy, especially in the pool area. If you prefer a quieter stay, it may be best to inquire about room locations away from potential sources of noise.

Check for Pool Closure

Before booking, it's advisable to check if the pool will be closed for private functions during your stay, as this was a point of disappointment for some guests.

Bring Your Own Supplies
