The staff ensured cleanliness was maintained daily, even replacing towels. breakfast was excellent. The kitchen staff prepared various dishes daily, preventing monotony. abdo and his team created a cute atmosphere. abdul and gris assisted with adapters, escorted me to taxis, and secured restaurant bookings.

The location was a surprise. Cars could not approach within 500 yards, though i quickly adapted.
