My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. The rooms were enormous and very comfortable, making it perfect for families, but the glass walls let in too much sunlight in the morning. The service was outstanding; Ajak went the extra mile bringing us coffees to our room. The location was convenient but created some paranoia since we were with kids. Dining options were excellent with a great variety, although I would have liked more choices. Overall, it was a good value for money considering the amenities.

My stay at the hotel was quite nice, with luxurious and contemporary rooms that offered great comfort. The service from the staff was exceptional, particularly with how they catered to my requests. However, the location felt a bit walled in, which detracted from the overall experience. The dining options were fantastic, with a huge variety of cuisines, but the views from the room were less appealing.

I had a decent stay at this hotel. The rooms are nicely designed, offering a resort-like feel, and they’re quite quiet thanks to the soundproofing. The location is a bit out of the way, but it's near the beach. I appreciated the friendly service, though the car hire took longer than expected and the dining options could be improved. All in all, I found it to be a good value for money.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were luxurious with spacious layouts, and the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. However, I found the dining options to be a bit repetitive over the four days. The location was decent, but the walk from the lobby to my room could be a bit long at times.

The lobby area was well-maintained with enough places to sit, but it felt quite cut off from the rooms, and the walk could be tedious. Overall, a decent location, just not the most convenient.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel! The location is absolutely perfect, just steps from the beach and a clean pool area. The rooms are spacious and contemporary, but the shower area could use better ventilation. The staff members were exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout my stay. However, I wish there had been more breakfast variety to really make the dining experience stand out.
