I had a pleasant stay overall at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and nice, but occasionally had a funny smell. The service was exceptional, with a very kind and friendly staff who personally made sure everything went smoothly with our marriage process. The location was great for easy access to restaurants and had a fabulous central location with a panoramic view of the ocean. The dining experience was good, with a variety of breakfast options but be prepared for a slight wait. However, the hotel's location was a bit small compared to the size of the building.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with a great view, massive with a huge wardrobe, two toilets, huge bathroom, office, and lounge with panoramic views. However, it can get pretty hot early in the morning. The service was very hospitable and friendly at The Table ONE restaurant, going above and beyond to accommodate us for dinner at our preferred restaurant. The location is fantastic, allowing easy access to nearby shops. The dining experience was simply incredible, meeting true 5-star international standards. The facilities are top-notch. A perfect stay overall.

The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with lovely Ceylon Spa toiletries and great city views, but the premium room size might feel smaller for the price range. The exceptionally friendly service includes thoughtful assistance and easy engagement with hotel amenities. The location is fantastic, providing easy access to nearby shops and featuring attentive staff, though some areas might benefit from expansion. While the dining options vary from crowded to delicious, the overall stay promises a pleasant experience with well-maintained facilities.

The hotel rooms were wonderful, clean, and perfect for holidays, making it very comfortable for our whole family. However, there was some noise disruption due to beach concerts during Christmas. The massive room with panoramic views was impressive, although some family members had to change to lake view due to the noise.

The hotel is great for a family with small kids but can be noisy due to nearby concerts during certain events. The rooms are not spacious but comfortable, and some noise issues can be resolved by opting for a lake view room. The service is a mix of modern comfort with instances of going above and beyond, although some staff may not be as friendly or accommodating. The location is excellent with nearby shops and attractions easily accessible. The dining experience offers amazing food with generally friendly and attentive service. Overall, a good value for money option with some noise considerations to keep in mind.

My stay at the hotel was a bit mixed. The rooms were not as good as expected, lacking a dressing mirror even after requesting a higher floor. They were smaller than anticipated for the premium price but did offer a stunning view. On the bright side, the service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable. The location was fantastic, offering easy access to restaurants and business meetings. The dining experience was average, with nothing outstanding, and the facilities were satisfactory.
