"Overall, the hotel was great. However, the fitness center did not provide towels or water. We had to use the towels from our room, which were only one full size towel, one pool towel and one hand towel per person. Otherwise, pool was refreshing, fitness center more than adequate."

"We only stayed one night at the Hotel Sarah Nui, and although it was old and the furnishings were old and mismatched, the room and bathroom were extremely clean which is what is important to us. The shower was great - plenty of hot water. Bed was comfortable. Very nice staff who allowed us to store our luggage for a few hours and called us a taxi. The hotel is nice for a one or two night stay."
