Nothing says fish chips like these. Actually I got these because I think they locals eat PoPo fish flavored chips if they want their babies to grow up to be Police Officers. LOL

10/10 Excellent
"Quick check in process. Our room was very clean, comfortable pillows, good sized bathroom and the view was quite nice. Although I didn’t use the pool, I found the area very relaxing if you want to just hang out and relax at night or early in the morning. Location is within walking distance to a lot of good restaurants. In addition, lobby was well decorated. Would definitely stay here again next time. "
