The G Hotel and Spa

The G Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was beautiful and modern. The beds were very comfortable and the AC was much appreciated as we had very hot temperatures on one of the days. Our room was a good size for our family of 4. The staff were very pleasant and welcoming. The breakfast was included with our room and it was a table order breakfast rather than buffet. Great selection and delicious, with fast service."
