“The hotel certainly makes a visual impact, with stylish decor and particularly stunning sea view rooms; the outdoor pool, heated even in winter, is a definite highlight. It's worth noting that the weekend atmosphere can be lively, perhaps a bit too much for some, and dining options appear limited, but the location offers easy beach access. Overall, it presents a mixed experience, balancing aesthetic appeal with potential drawbacks around service and ambiance.”

i dined at the south beach restaurant and it was a treat. satya provided friendly service and nothing was too much trouble for her , so i really appreciated that.
the outdoor pool area seemed far too small , considering how large the hotel is , so i found it somewhat limiting. also , my room was between the hotel and the parking lot , so it was relatively noisy at times.

family experiencedietary requirementsbusy poollong queue
Tommy really looked after us. My aunt has dietary requirements and they took care of it.
The pool was busy. I found that there was no poolside service for drinks. Only ONE person was serving at the bar, so wanting a drink meant a 15-20 minute queue each time.

The hotel upgraded me to a suite with sea view. This room was very spacious and the beds are very comfortable. Andre gave us a lovely service at dinner in the South Beach restaurant. He ensure we had everything we needed.
The outdoor pool was closed some time ago. Despite this, they still charge full fees. I objected this situation, but my request was refused. I don't understand why I should continue as a member.
