I’m a cappuccino and croissant snob, and it shard to please me….but I have to admit that the cappuccino was absolutely delicious. The croissant was also great, very French: flaky and buttery and not sweet at all! Loved it! Best part was sitting outside, watching the birds feed their little chicks in the plants the Risen Cafe has hanging on their outside sitting area while Bonel, our favorite barista is serving us all these incredible food and drink items which were all mad with so much passion….and Bonel even topped off my water bottle while making me an additional matcha latte! That was so nice of him and the matcha latte was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend this place!

May is super cute and has excellent manners. She welcomes customers with a warm smile and treats everyone with kindness and respect. I felt comfortable from the moment I walked into the café, and she served me quickly and in a friendly way. She truly adds a positive vibe to the place and makes the whole experience better. Highly recommend visiting the café for such great service from her.

The best little cafe in our hotel! Came here one morning for a coffee and a bite to eat. Noticed a coffee I’ve never heard of before called a Bumblebee (orange juice with espresso). The staff are so friendly and attentive! My wife and I have come back every day for a coffee and they always greet us and remember us! Would recommend 100% if you’re staying in the hotel or passing!

Wonderful hotel that ticks all the boxes. The reception staff are wonderful in particular mark and Valentine, as well as Rovic from the risen cafe who always delivers exceptional service. Without forgetting the wonderful Godwin who was the house keeper on floor 9 who literally went above and beyond in cleaning our room to a very high standard and always delivering a smile and funny jokes. Lifeguards always do a wonderful job, however there are issues with the lead lifeguard giving one rule to certain guests and another rule to other guests. Which has been noticed not only by my family, but many other families too, pool rules should be same no matter what race, gender, age or nationality. Apart from the senior lifeguard issue, exceptional hotel.
