“See above”
I loved staying at this hotel set in beautiful verdant gardens. Massive in scale, 3 separate housing units. Large verandas. Somewhat dated but maintained with a charm. Staff everywhere were cheerful, pleasant and helpful. Buffet breakfasts were a delight. Oddly enough the bar was not open everyday. A walk to the 7 Eleven was a trip too far, for reference.

“A seaside hotel near the airport with incredbly polite and honest staff with tidy hotel rooms.”
I left my jacket in the hotel room and e-mailed the hotel if it was there. Luckily, the room service staff kept my jacket in safe keeping. Despite the fact that i left the jacket there for almost three weeks, I am thankful that they were honest people and it does really matter. In addition to that the hotel staff were polite and approachable at all times.
