7.8/10

My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. On the upside, the rooms were spacious and had a wonderful view, and the location was fantastic, making it easy to explore. However, the service left a lot to be desired, as there were issues with the pool area that weren't appropriately addressed. Overall, it's a decent choice, but it has some areas needing improvement.

Rooms

The rooms were large and included a beautiful view along with a comfortable sitting area, which made my stay enjoyable.

Service

5.0

The service was a bit lacking, especially since they admitted there were frequent falls by the pool and didn't seem to do anything about it. However, I appreciated that they quickly changed my room and refunded my first night's stay.
