The hotel is elegant yet informal as it is home to the business traveler, thrill-seekers and families; all of whom have come to awaken new senses in Port Ghalib's myriad activities. Other amenities include outdoor pool, a health and fitness center, laundry service, business service, and parking.

The guest rooms have irons with ironing boards, coffeemakers, kitchenettes, and hairdryers. Rates are based on double occupancy. Charges for extra adults may apply and will be due directly to the hotel.
