I had a lovely stay at the hotel, which boasts a stunning location right by the beautiful coast and within walking distance to great restaurants and bars. The rooms were spacious and quiet, providing a comfortable retreat after a day out. The highlight for me was the outstanding service, with staff going out of their way to make my experience special. However, the dining options were a bit pricey for what was offered, which might not suit everyone's budget.

I recently stayed at this hotel and overall, it was a nice experience. The rooms were quite spacious and well-equipped, which I loved. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we were well looked after. However, I did have a couple of dining experiences that didn't meet my expectations, and the location had its challenges with local traffic. Still, the amenities were great, and I felt I got good value for my money.

I recently stayed at a hotel that offered a fantastic view overlooking the bay, but it also overlooked a busy car park and the road leading to the casino. The rooms were stylish and modern, but they weren't quite ready upon arrival, which was a bit frustrating. The friendly staff stood out with their professionalism and assistance, making the stay pleasant. However, I was charged €1 for charity without prior consent, which left a sour taste. Overall, it had its perks but also some drawbacks that make it less than ideal.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which is beautifully located on its own peninsula overlooking the Mediterranean. The rooms were fantastic, especially in the new wing that provided a serene olive garden view. While the service was mostly friendly, I did encounter one rude employee that slightly dampened the experience. Additionally, the dining options were quite good, though the noise levels could be a bit much at times, not ideal for a tranquil breakfast. Overall, I felt it was a great value for money given the location and amenities.

I had a pretty good stay at this hotel. The views from my room were simply stunning, and I loved the spacious layout. The service was incredibly friendly and helpful.

The hotel has a great location with nearby restaurants and entertainment options. The staff at the concierge lounge were incredibly helpful and made my stay enjoyable. However, the room I was upgraded to did not have a sea view, and I felt that some facilities, such as the gym wash amenities, didn't match the overall quality of the hotel. Overall, it’s a good choice for a comfortable stay but could use some improvements in certain areas.
