Stats

Stay dates: 12/28/10 to 01/01/11

This was an award stay. Mrs Magiclamp is a Plat, they recognized the Plat and told us that our room would be on the 5th floor.

Room

A 2 room, 1.5 Bathroom suite with a huge terrace. Very modern and updated room with 2 huge flat screen TVs

Lounge

The lounge on the 4th floor is open the entire day and has wireless and computers for surfing the web. There is some munching items and good tea/coffee/juice selection available.

Location

The hotel is about 2-3 KM from the old city, about SYP50 taxi ride, step outside the hotel to take a yellow taxi, dont take the hotel taxi.
The lobby is updated and very nice, there are computers in the lobby for surfing. The staff is very professional and friendly

Dining

The restaurant: Our breakfast was included and we had to go to the restaurant for it. A huge variety of western and arabic items for breakfast. We did 2 meals in the restaurant - excellent food. On the expensive side, not surprising since it is a Sheraton. The food is good and the restaurant staff is the among the best/friendliest I've ever seen.

Overall

Bottom line: Excellent hotel, excellent staff, location not very convinient but not a huge problem

All in all an excellent hotel.
Thanks
