Staying at Novus Jiva was delighting, although they are on full house they still try to maintain good service. Since the hotel is away from restaurants, we had all of our bf lunch and dinner at the hotel. At peak hour, service at the restaurant was a bit slow but they have quite a selection of menu from asian and western, some of the food are delicious and some are not though. The facilities and ambiance is great, they have a kids club, pool, small kids playground and a nice bar with a selection of cocktail. The beach is across the road, but there is a shuttle to and from the hotel. The pool in front of the beach is nice, but I wish there is more shades. Overall it is a nice hotel with a good service, cleanliness can be improved.
