Well, the staff are very helpful and the place is located close to the mall which is really nice.
I was booked in room 10 and requested to be moved to a ground room, which was room 11. Both rooms are beautiful; however, there is no internet network. I was busy with my assignment, and I had to spend the night in the main sitting room in the house to complete my schoolwork. It would be very helpful if they strengthened their Internet connection to all rooms. Currently, you open the main entrance gate, and it closes itself. I prefer an option added for a person to close the gate instead of waiting for the gate to close itself. Yes, I know it is a safe area, but I want to take up the responsibility of closing the gate.

The place is very cute, has a very peaceful vibe with friendly staff. We enjoyed many of the sitting areas after returning from the beach or our shift. The beach wasn't that far away, about 7 mins drive, but love the proximity to Florida road. My colleagues and I had a great dinner there without the need to drive. The dog, Jess, is such a cutie and brings life and joy to the room with her gently and playful nature.
My one and only thing I think that could be better is probably for the owner to have been there or a member of management to be on sight, it was difficult playing broken telephone with the staff. I didn't really mind it though because the staff were being very patient with us.

The he property and area is so peaceful, neat and clean. Family friendly. My son enjoyed himself so much.
The only thing I didn’t like was that on the first night the linen was itching but after spraying doom it was sorted and the ladies changed the linen.

The place was exceptional, and its in the city center. Security was good and Bra Lucas and his companion were always around and ready to serve
There was nothing I didn't like, everything was as expected.

Everything was just perfect for me. Starting from the staff was very friendly. The bed was comfortable..the room was clean and the towels were all there. I wish I had to stay longer!
The shower is very small.

Breakfast was scrumptious.
Kettle ,tea and coffee,sugar sachets in bedroom would make it nicer. More parking space would be great.
