In this city, there are few hotels that are stay-worthy and one of them being the Oxalis Regency. The rooms in Oxalis Regency all have or overlooking great views. However, we would like to recommend you requesting one on the top floor or the one that is facing the Westside, which undoubtedly offers you the best views this resort has to offer.
