7.8/10

The hotel has a wonderful location overlooking the pool area with easy access to shops and attractions, but the dining options for vegetarians are limited. The service is a mix of lovely from most staff but some unprofessional behavior. The rooms, though upgraded and clean, lacked information on location guidance. The price is good for the facilities provided.

The hotel is located at the very end of a long corridor, needing refurbishment, but offers excellent rooms with a Juliette balcony overlooking the pool and resort. The service is hit & miss, and the location is eye-catching with some areas looking tired compared to the past. The dining experience varies from sumptuous to underwhelming. Facilities are satisfactory.

I had a very mixed experience at this hotel. While I received an upgrade to a lovely Lagoon room which was very relaxing, the room had some issues like holes in the walls, cracks in ceilings and walls, a front door that wouldn't lock, and non-working heating/air conditioner and television, which meant I couldn't access the included movies in the package. The room lacked the characteristic charm of the rest of the hotel and faced a busy external road.

Rooms

The room had some maintenance issues and lacked the charm of the rest of the hotel, but the upgrade to the Lagoon room was very nice and relaxing.

The staff were a mixed bag - some were very nice and attentive, while others came off as a bit snobby. However, overall, they were very attentive and the service was decent.

Location

The hotel is beautiful from afar but not very central. The limited access due to private condominium areas and lack of proximity to the Broadwater were drawbacks. However, it's still a lovely spot with nice surroundings.

Dining

The dining experience varied - while some dishes were well presented and tasty, others were very disappointing. The option for Thai dishes was a nice touch.

Facilities

The facilities were decent, offering a range of services like room service, valet parking, and tours/ticket assistance. However, improvements could be made in terms of maintenance and variety.

The hotel offers a mix of positives like a great location close to amenities and some negatives such as stains around the property. The rooms were well-designed and attractive, but in need of repairs. The service was exceptional with staff showing kindness beyond their duties. The dining options were good but not up to a 5-star standard. Overall, a fair value for money stay with some room for improvement.

7.0/10

The hotel offered a spacious and luxurious suite that wasn't the one we booked, including a bedroom, lounge, spa bath, shower, and two toilets. Unfortunately, the road-facing room led to some noise concerns, affecting our ability to enjoy the breeze. The service was excellent, with attentive staff throughout our stay, although a lack of expressiveness was noted despite pre-paying for the room.

The hotel's opulent surroundings were marred by inconsistent cleanliness and an unexpected increase in children. While the pianist added a nice touch, the presence of children in the adults-only areas was a downside.

Dining

The dining experience was satisfactory, though servers seemed reluctant to accommodate requests like a second cup of coffee. The presence of delicious food was a saving grace.

Facilities

The hotel offered an array of facilities like room service, car hire, dry cleaning, and laundry. However, the value for money may not be justified by the overall experience.
