Nice room and amenities, but the staff was cold and disengaged. The rooftop terrace is in need of some new furniture that actually allows guests to enjoy the space.

Large clean room with a good comfortable bed. It has a very nice restaurant and although next door there is internal access which was not pointed out to us. We arrived extremely early after an all night flight and were offered an early check in. It was well worth the extra
flight

Great place to stay. The rooms are clean, the staff is friendly, and the breakfast is delicious. The cruise terminal is conveniently located just four minutes from the hotel. One small suggestion would be for all front desk staff to have at least a basic level of English, as some communication with the reception team requires the use of a translator. Overall, a 10 out of 10 experience.

On my way to the property at around 3pm I was contacted by the property staff that they were overbooked and put me in another property.
I chose it especially for the location, because we were leaving on a cruise the next day and booked it 6 months in advance.
I felt ripped off. Somebody obviously paid more than us at a last minute. If this wasn't the case why wouldn't the hotel contact me well in advance?

Awesome Hotel.
This Hotel was great. Very clean, excellent staff and service. The only drawback was only one restaurant with limited hours and no shopping within walking distance.

The property was nice and the restaurant next door was very good as well.
It was convenient for us as we arrived a day early for our cruise and the terminal is across the street.
Be very careful walking around this area. It gets dangerous quickly.

It is an amazing property directly across the street from the cruise port. Once they finish repairs to the port, it will be even better ( at the time of writing this the check-in area at the port is temporarily closed and you need to go to the nearby convention centre to check in to your cruise).
The pool is amazing, the outdoor pool is great for laps swimming and the indoor pool is actually a hot tub that is the size or larger than many hotels main pools.
