Stunning Rooftop Dining

I had a fantastic breakfast at the rooftop restaurant. The view overlooking the town and ocean was absolutely amazing. The multi-layered breakfast spread with tropical fruits and fresh pastries was a great start to each day. I especially enjoyed the great spiced coffee they serve.

Beautifully Themed Rooms

I stayed in the Jafferji Suite and was wowed by its unique decor and vibrant colors. The four-poster bed with mosquito netting added a romantic touch and the air conditioning was a blessing. The rooms are uniquely themed and gave me a nice experience during my stay.

Relaxing Spa Experience

Although I didn't get a chance to try the spa treatments, I heard from fellow guests that it's very good. The overall ambiance of the hotel felt very soothing, and I could see people really enjoying their spa days, which made me wish I could have indulged as well.

Modern and Spacious Bathrooms

The bathroom in my suite had dual sinks, which was perfect for my friend and I. It was spacious and well-designed, allowing for a comfortable experience. Plus, it was equipped with great amenities, although I did have to ask for some items like soap and shampoo upon arrival.
