Reviews and Ratings
I had a nice stay overall. The rooms were comfortable and clean, but not exactly as advertised. The staff was accommodating, attentive, and pleasant. The location was convenient for the airport but a bit far from the city center. The dining options were rich and varied, but a little overpriced.
The hotel had some drawbacks with room temperature being an issue due to a non-functional bathroom and lack of AC, although the staff, particularly Miranda, were helpful with booking excursions. The location offered practicality despite some noise disturbances, and the dining experience was diverse though crowded at times.
The hotel was a mix of pros and cons. The rooms overlooking the enclosed central gallery were modern but cozy, albeit a bit noisy around the front door in the lobby. The service was top-notch with the staff being friendly and very helpful, but some areas like the breakfast reception were not as good. Its location made it easy to kickstart daily adventures and was super quick; although a bit far, the free taxi service from the hotel made it doable. Dining options were varied with delicious food, but there weren't many plant-based choices.
The hotel is conveniently located close to the city center, making it easy for commuting. The rooms are clean but could get warm during the day. The service was a bit of a mixed experience with some issues regarding overcharging but overall accommodating. However, the location is on the outskirts, requiring taxis to access the city center for activities.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was convenient for daily adventures, but driving into the city area was a hassle with closed roads. The service was exceptional, especially during breakfast, with staff being helpful and friendly. The dining options were a bit limited for plant-based eaters. The rooms, advertised at a reasonable price, proved to be noisy despite having a tower view twin room.
The hotel room was very spacious and exceptionally clean, however, it was quite dark with the blinds closed. The service from the staff was a mix of being blunt at times but really helpful with excursion information for our large group. The location, though not offering many nearby dining options, had underfloor heating in the bathroom and was just a short ride to the city or harbor area. The dining experience offered a superb buffet with a great variety of choices. Overall, a place with value for money considering the excellent room cleanliness and helpful service.
The hotel is cozy with a lovely view of a fountain from the 1st-floor room, but slightly different from the initially booked higher floor. The service is a mix of outstanding helpfulness and a bit of confusion over an unexpected charge. The location offers convenience to downtown, although the shuttle service could be extended. The dining experience is pleasing but not extravagant, and the facilities meet basic needs.
I had a fantastic time at the hotel with its stunning views of the town and the sea from our fabulous room. The AC controls were a bit of a letdown as they didn't cool the room, unfortunately. The service went beyond my expectations, always there when needed and absolutely delightful. The location was out of the city but easy to access by car, though a bit far for a comfortable walk into town. The dining experience was good, offering a nice selection of food. Overall, a great stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel was nice, a little small but extremely warm and humid. The room was large and fairly comfortable, although the shower was tiny, making it a real challenge to navigate. The service was among the best I have found, with staff always very polite, helpful, and going beyond the call of duty. The location was pretty great, about 1.5km from the old harbor, making it easy to walk to the city center or use the hotel's free shuttle. The dining experience was good with a lot of choice and included in the price, which was a plus. The facilities were well maintained.
