Nightcap at the Cavenagh

10/10 Excellent
"Stayed for six nights, best decision! Excellent location walking distance to many attractions. Recently renovated rooms, tastefully done with excellent air conditioning. Easy access to pool that is surrounded by relaxing seating. Live music near pool added to ambience, yet my room was quiet. The food in hotel area was consistently of a high standard. The winning point though was the staff, everyone was so friendly and helpful."
