An oasis in the city

A lovely hotel, and welcoming and helpful staff. Our room was spacious and nicely-designed with our own indoor and outdoor shower, and a soothing spa-like feel. Dinners and breakfasts at the restaurant were excellent and a personal tour around town was everything we’d hoped for. It’s a wonderful oasis in the city.

It was an amazing experience at the residence. We would recommend it as a five star hotel, and would go back again. We hope to go back again. The staff were so friendly. The food was excellent, and our accommodations were just beautiful. The tropical nature of the resort was amazing as well.
