    Excellent location within walking distance to eateries, malls and the jetty for island-hopping. Staff were exceptionally warm and hospitable - 5 stars to them! The pool was a great place to unwind on a humid afternoon. The view from the café was just perfect, overlooking the sea. Would definitely return the next time I'm in KK.
