I had a great stay! Staff were attentive and friendly and the WiFi was strong! The view and pool are to die for. Only thing I did not love was the restaurant, I found the portions to be small for the price. I also wasn’t too impressed with the menu in general. But I loved the wait staff, they were really sharp and good for short banter. If they are more generous with the food and improve on the offerings and flavor this would be a 10/10. But I’ll give it a solid 8.7 and I will definitely come again if all the rooms aren’t booked as they usually are.

This is one excellent edifice, everything was there one should expect at a Hotel. Bar well stocked, food good to savour and I’ve recommended it to my niece in the USA 🇺🇸 who booked me here to evaluate the whole place in preparation for her wedding in December 2026.
Beautiful view and swimming pool.
