AZZA Smart Stay
The place was very beautiful and clean, and the service was excellent. The only detail is that the location isn’t well signposted, so it was a bit difficult to find the name of the place. Other than that, it’s a very pleasant place to stay.

Rooms were clean and well furnished. Staff works through an app you can download to communicate. No front desk. Views were fantastic. Very safe with security systems. 10/10 will book with Xtay every chance I get.
