4/5
This is a nice hotel, located not too far from shops. Staff were friendly and the check-in service was quick. Small bar area right next to the pool and a restaurant that serves nice food. The room is slightly bigger than some of the other hotels, but the furniture seems a bit old.

It is a luxurious hotel, great for business meetings and networking. Spacious sitting areas for both business and leisure. Comfortable and relaxing. Service is, however, lacking. Took time to be attended and still did not get the help I needed. Good food with varied menu as well as buffet.
