My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were of good size and clean, though not exactly at a 5-star level as claimed, and our sea view was partially obstructed by trees. The service was very attentive and went beyond expectations to cater to our needs. The location was lovely, facing the Gulf of Guinea on the northeastern shores, and provided convenient access to the city center. The dining was varied with tasty local fruits but lacked enthusiasm at times. The facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable, but could have been a bit cleaner. They were very spacious, which I appreciated, but there seemed to be a lack of staff at times. The hotel is a great value for the price but keep in mind the cleaning issue due to limited staff.
