I recently stayed at this spa hotel, and I was really impressed with the overall experience. The rooms were not only modern but also offered a great view that made my stay even better. The service was generally good, though I found the dining options a bit overpriced for what they offered. The spa facilities were a nice touch, but the pool area was a little crowded during my visit. Overall, it was a good value for the money, but there are areas that could be improved.

The hotel offers a serene experience with clean and comfortable rooms that have stunning sea and pool views. The service was attentive and included small perks like welcome drinks, although the dining options fell a bit short in taste and value. The location near downtown and transportation options is definitely a plus, making it convenient for exploring. However, the price felt a little high considering the dining shortcomings.
