Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms offered a breathtaking view of the sea, and the staff was incredibly helpful. However, the cleanliness left something to be desired, and the temperature control was an issue in my original room. After requesting a change, I was relocated to a smoker's room on the 6th floor, which was a letdown. The common areas were crowded with people wearing blindfolds and nose plugs.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms offered stunning sea views and were spacious for a relaxing stay, yet the city view rooms were also comfortable with a daily sunset treat. The service was mostly friendly and helpful, although there was an unfortunate incident of theft. The location was a bit far from the main attractions but had individuals ready to assist. The dining options were decent but lacked variety, and the facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel offers spacious rooms but had some issues with cleanliness and temperature control. The service was a mix of helpfulness and rudeness. The location was not ideal for sightseeing but had nice amenities like a hot sauna. The dining options were limited with room for improvement.
