Good review. I am actually interested in this for my next holiday. I would prefer to read more about the rooms, hotel standard, e.g. comparing to Europe or how many stars does it have, price range for the booking (I know you haven't booked this one but some research would help). by Veronica115012

Sorry but your information is very sketchy and you have hardly mentioned the actual rooms at all. A lot more information is needed for a hotel review to be helpful, take a look at some of the other reviews on the site to get an idea. by Averilla
