Liked: Very friendly and helpful staff. Very clean and nice, quiet atmosphere.

Disliked: If you do not have a car, then it is difficult to get around and really explore the city. You can walk, but not too far. It is nice to do the tour of the historic district, but if you want to get to the waterfront and beaches, you need to have a car or call a taxi.

Liked: Really helpful staff - will help you book any tours/safaris/trips you need (I recommend anything carried out by 'Greg' who is a hilarious English tour guide). Bathrooms are exceptionally clean.

Disliked: Location isn't ideal. Near good,cheap restaurants and right next to cricket stadium but too far from beach front to walk. Depends what you're after really.
