Hotel Acta Moa- New Opening
I can say the hotel overall was excellent. Nice rooms, staff very helpful. Id absolutely stay again. If i had any constructive criticism it would be the set up of the pool/bar. Lovely pool and the sun hits it beautifully but no bar directly attached to it. I think if there was a bar selling alcohol ...
