9/10 Wonderful! (752 reviews)

This holiday has been nothing short of incredible. The hotel is absolutely amazing — top-notch in every way. From the moment we arrived, the staff have gone above and beyond to make our stay special. Special thanks to Borja (concierge), Stafane (bartender), Jose (grounds manager), and many others who’ve treated us with such warmth and care. The bedroom is pure comfort — the mattress is one of the best I’ve ever slept on, and the room is spotless. As for the food… it’s exceptionally exquisite — every meal has been a treat. This place is the perfect escape, even if just for a couple of days. Whether you’re looking to relax, recharge, or just be surrounded by beauty, this is it. My wife and I are truly enjoying this magical paradise — and we’ll definitely be coming back next year. 🌴✨ #GratefulGetaway #LuxuryRetreat #VacationBliss

9.4/10 Exceptional! (30 reviews)

The property is an oasis in a mediocre location. Plus points are it’s clean, modern, room excellent, breakfast excellent (could have some honey/jam), staff excellent, roof top bar excellent. Negative points were the options for dinner outside the hotel. Lots of eating places with reasonable reviews, but the reality is the meals are mixed in quality and our experience was poor for the service and food outside. We would recommend eating in the hotel. Overall, great hotel lead the way for upgrades for the rest of the location
