Each of the suites is over 140 square metres in size, with a separate living room, en-suite bathroom, dresser and a private furnished balcony. Decorated in calming natural colour tones, teak woods and crisp cotton bed linen. The suites are luxuriously appointed and meticulously planned to include state-of-the-art facilities.
