"The hotel is more or less a giant block of metal. the hallways are dark and claustrophobic - it could be a prison. . The bathroom had a shower so small you could just about turn around without hitting yourself on the wall. Water managed to leak out of the shower onto the floor every time - no matter how hard you tried to prevent splashing or overflows.\n\nThere was one giant window in the room, with the rest of the walls hidden behind a single, never-ending blind. One good thing about the room was the view, we had a sea-facing room, which almost made up for everything else.\n\nSurprisingly, the bed and pillows were incredibly comfortable and great for sleeping.\n\nThe food was mediocre. The breakfast buffet had a lot of meat, but that was expected. Due to language barriers, the waiters couldn't get orders correct most of the time. However, the separately paid lunch and dinner menus were surprisingly good, and the portion sizes were very generous.\n\nThe staff were genuinely lovely—warm, helpful, and full of advice on local transport, even providing tour bus leaflets. Their friendliness was a refreshing contrast to the cold metal aesthetic."

"My girlfriend and I used the spa services on the 5th floor and it was absolutely amazing. The staff were so welcoming and friendly. We booked in for couples deep tissue massages and we were both so impressed that we just had to book again. On both occasions our massages were delivered to a very high standard. After our massages we just enjoyed sitting in the comfy sofa chairs drinking water from the chilled dispenser. I honestly wish this spa and their treatments were in the UK because we would definitely be booking regularly. Thank you spa team for a beneficial and unforgettable experience 💯"

"An average hotel and no way a 5 star. No issues checking in. The cleaning lady did the bare minimum, sometimes coming at 5 pm to clean the room, or more so just made the bed and never gave us more coffee. Our shower would became scalding hot randomly. Sometimes it was difficult to get into the room with our key card.\n\nThe Pool was packed and was mostly of disrespectful kids. Buffet breakfast was good. Taxis chill outside so while you are far from the center there is no issues to get there.\n\nWe upgraded to the level and enjoyed one 30 time at the spa and the lounge at the 25th floor with free drinks and snacks. The view from the ocean front room is nice but the windows are weird. Definitely needs an upgrade."
