Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Not luxury at all.
We had a leak in our room dropping water on our floor from the room upstairs. It took one hour and a half for our bags to get to our room after we checked in. You have to go from pool to pool to find towels. Then you have to find your lounge chairs, open heavy umbrellas yourself and position them yourself without assistance. It can take 30 minutes, especially at the upstairs pool to have someone come to take your drink order. Then you wait….
Leak in room after repair.
Frame left on bed.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The property is beautiful, very convenient (very close to the Old Town). The breakfast buffet was very good with lots of options to choose from. I just wish that the property would provide some entertainment in the evening other than singers singing quietly. It is very quiet in the evening so you will need to leave the property if you want to have a little more lively evening. I am not young but it was even too quiet for me. Also, the pool closes very early in the evening…I didn’t understand why because there are 3 pools on site and the Adult Only pool was far from the bedrooms windows so noise would not have been a issue. Such a shame.

This is an incredible property, with the best staff I encountered on the whole trip. Highly recommend booking the ‘selected suites’. It allows access to a lounge with unlimited drinks and snacks, as well as a visit to the hydrotherapy spa daily. The suite itself was perfect. Comfortable bed, luxurious bathroom, and amazing views. Breakfast was terrific as well. 10/10

Nicely renovated and overall felt clean and comfortable. Many aspects of the service were excellent but we had to call multiple times to ask for a power adapter which never arrived. We also issues with our request to assist in connecting casting which was not working. The temperature of the shower also fluctuated significantly which was frustrating. Overall we enjoyed our stay as the breakfast was great and pool deck had lots of chairs and wonderful access to the walkway.
