"Pros: Excellent location; the upgraded room at Konoza was even more spacious and beautiful, with a stunning open-air bathroom garden. The food quality was very high, and the all-you-can-eat ice cream was a big plus. Two young women stood outside the door at check-out, bowing and waving to every departing guest, showing the hotel's dedication to its operations.
Cons: Dinner was a buffet, which was a bad sign. When it was time to eat, a long queue formed at the door. Inside, I was shocked to find three tour guides from different countries loudly instructing their groups to grab the ”good deals.” Breakfast the next day was similarly chaotic; although the food quality was still good, there was a sense of frantic grabbing.
Suggestions: If a buffet is the only option, at least provide designated seating areas. Most guests come here for peace and quiet."
