10/10 Exceptional

We had a great time at Litan hotel. Booked a room with balcony and sea view, had a fantastic sea views especially during sunset hours. Very clean rooms and pretty new built. Staffs were amazing and friendly. I wanted to tell people to try lunch and dinner menus as well. However, breakfast could feel like a routine but that’s how it would be in all the hotels if you’re staying for 4-5 days.
