Great hotel, didn't use the pool but it looked busy so must have been great. The Breakfast was really good. Only downside is there is still a lot of construction going on around the property and directly behind the hotel. So if you sit on the terrace to have breakfast be prepared for some dust and noise. I would stay here again

I would recommend this hotel as a single women traveling on her own. Had a great vibe & upstairs restaurant by pool great music & food. Very comfortable to sit & eat on your own. 24 hour coffee station. Lovely room & very helpful staff with easy access to taxis for Kite beach surrounding attractions. Will come back & stay at that hotel. Only complaint was I choose that hotel so I could walk straight on the canal but no access with construction so did not take advantage of the canal hotel walk every morning. Didn’t want to walk 10mins outside hotel to get to canal along the main road.
