Air conditioning not working
Amazing hotel. Staff very professional and welcoming. Restaurant amazing. Views to die for. Extremely good value for money.
The service was outstanding as well. Nuse, the hotel manager, was incredibly supportive and professional throughout the entire planning process and on the day of the event. She was always punctual, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and on time. Her attention to detail and commitment to making our day special truly made a difference.
Overall, Ajia exceeded our expectations, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful and accommodating wedding venue!
All in all, we had a great and dream wedding at this amazing venue!
Thank you!
The location is fantastic, but be cautious about non-sea view rooms.
Unfortunately, our room faced a construction work on the road and there was a GSM receiver underneath. Please see the photos from my room, not exactly same as the photos you see on the website.
While the overall experience was good, the reception's assistance fell short. Avoid park view rooms; they may not justify the cost. It doesn’t worth the money you pay
The hotel was very elegant with a beautiful view facing the water. The room was very clean, all the staff were very polite. The man at the front desk helped us acquire a card for public transportation and even helped us refill it. The hotel was accessible to the ferry and the staff helped us understand the system. All the workers were so attentive and kind, great customer service!
