I had a lovely stay at the resort spa, with an atmosphere that truly felt luxurious. The rooms were well-appointed and inviting, although I did find the noise from the courtyard a bit disruptive at times. The staff went out of their way to fulfill my requests, and I truly appreciated their attentiveness. However, while the dining options were varied, the breakfast could have had a few more choices. Overall, it was a great experience, but the noise level and limited breakfast selection were drawbacks.

The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly, which made my experience even better.

I recently stayed at this beautiful resort spa, and overall, it was a delightful experience. The rooms were spotless and stylishly decorated, with some charming touches like exotic petals on the bed, which I loved. However, the noise from passing motorbikes did disrupt my peace a bit. The dining options were fantastic, with an impressive variety that included both local and continental dishes. While the staff was generally helpful, there were a few communication hiccups that made some requests a bit challenging. The location was also perfect for exploring the area, with plenty of shops and attractions within walking distance.

I had a very mixed experience at this hotel. While the beautiful decorations and relaxing ambiance of the rooms stood out to me, the noise from passing motorbikes made it difficult to sleep. The service was a bit hit or miss; the front desk and doorman were excellent, yet some basics seemed overlooked. The location was perfect for exploring, being close to shops and historical sites, but I was a bit disappointed with the dining options as they didn't meet my expectations.
