Guest Review: I really loved this hotel. Everything was done well, the staff were friendly and helpful and the food great, but I think it is the huge bunches of roses and gorgeous art that gives it a great ambience. I felt really comfortable and at home, which is not always the case with top end hotels, which can feel a bit cold sometimes.
Guest Review: I had a reduced mobility room with a great view to the swimming pool. One morning we had a spectacular. red sky sunrise. My bed was excellent. Breakfast was delicious and service very friendly. Fast lift was a plus. I needed to print some letters and the reception kindly did for me. So helpful to book a taxi. Swimming pool was great and they take care of you.
