The service was really nice and security here made you feel safe. The rooms were smaller than I hoped for- we stayed here for the first few days of our trip and then went to movenpick for the last few days. Their rooms were bigger and spacious but the service was better here - it was still good but I felt at sankara they were just always ready to go above and beyond.
