“Superb hotel in the heart of the city”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 March 2012

This hotel was really a class apart. The hotel truly matched its 5 star standards. The fool was tasty and awesome. The hotel is right next to the beach and one can have the view of the beach right from his room. The rooms were neat, clean and room service was good.
