Lovely tranquil setting not too far from the airport but away from the city bustle. The rooms were spacious and comfortable and the staff kind and helpful. The property has a lovely garden with a small trail. The central areas and dining room feel slightly dated.

Beautiful property, clean and comfortable rooms and such an accommodating staff. The views of the city from the villas are stunning and while a touch further out than a traditional airport hotel, this one has so much character, it’s so worth it. Highly recommend!
