The hotel was in a good location handy for shops, restaurants and the beach front. I felt safe in the area. My only dislike was breakfast which was a bit of a free for all. Tables not tidy and having to clean the table myself.

Wonderful location, nice staff and perfect view.

A very nice place to stay! Close to the waterfront and main restaurants. The hotel is super clean, new rooms, beautiful view (ocean view room) and the staff is very friendly. My flight was very early and we left the hotel at 5am. So they prepared a lunch box for my family since breakfast opens at 6am. Thanks for all.

Awesome view and service

The service was impeccable. The staff greeted me by name before even providing my booking. Throughout the stay staff were friendly and helpful. The views are gorgeous .Slight improvement could be made such as placing the curtain on the opposite side to maximise the view and having a square toilet seat on a square toilet. Would recommend.

Great views but a stain on the Raddison brand. Very tired rooms and the restaurant is a disaster. Had bug in bed in first room. Tepid food had to be returned in Tabu. Could only offer vanilla ice cream and Brown sauce "out of stock". Laughing stock more like. Pleasant front desk staff though.

It’s okay

Decent place but AC in room was weak, had to prop the window open with a spoon, and laundry service was abysmal. But other than that it was just fine. Restaurant/bar was good. Front desk was friendly and helpful.
