My stay at this hotel was quite enjoyable overall. The rooms exceeded my expectations with their beautiful designs and comfort, making my downtime very relaxing. The service was outstanding, with staff who were exceptionally helpful and always ready to assist. Although the dining experience could use improvement, especially with breakfast options, the facilities, particularly the pool, were lovely and well-maintained. On the downside, I found the location regarding pool bed availability to be a bit disappointing, as they were always taken by early morning.

Overall, my stay was quite a mixed bag. The hotel is beautiful, with rooms that are clean and comfortable, which I really appreciated. However, waiting until nearly 3 pm for check-in wasn't ideal, and the dining options after 10 pm were severely lacking. It felt like they had the potential to be a lot better, given the overall quality of the place.

I enjoyed my stay at the hotel, as the rooms were spacious and the overall vibe was really relaxed. The amenities were nice, especially the modern bathroom, and I appreciated the comfy bed. However, breakfast options could be improved, as it didn't quite meet my expectations. The pool area was lovely, but having to pay extra for Wi-Fi felt a bit off considering the price.

I had a delightful stay at this spa hotel. The rooms were beautiful, spacious, and spotlessly clean, making my stay very comfortable. The staff was attentive and warm, which added a lovely touch to the experience. However, the dining options could use some improvement as there were minor hiccups with room service. Overall, the amenities were fantastic and definitely made it worth the price.

I had a decent stay at the hotel, which has beautiful and spacious rooms that feel very modern. However, the check-in process was a bit of a hassle, with my room not being ready until almost 3 pm. While the staff was genuinely welcoming, their service felt somewhat inconsistent. The location is perfect for enjoying nearby restaurants and shops, but it does get quite crowded during peak times, which can be a bit frustrating.
