It is a pleasure to share thoughts about this remarkable hotel. The establishment is truly magnificent, offering a palatial experience to its guests. The cleanliness of the hotel is impeccable, ensuring a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. Furthermore, the staff's warmth and friendliness contribute greatly to a positive experience.
esmaeil, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in.everything was wonderful. BUT the hotel correctly notified us that we had to check out for real at noon because of an incoming wedding party. Which is fine, But it did not tell us in advance that we would have to off the property at noon. In the past I sould alwasy stay at the health club until my flight. instead I spent 4.5 not very pleasant hours in the main hall of the airport, with my luggage keeping me anchored. The hotel is well within its rights to kick us out at the check out time, but should have warned us.

The property was really relaxing and quiet with a lot of hidden spaces to just relax.
Claudia, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Chaotic check-in. Only one staff dealing with people checking in and tourists trying to pay to see the gardens. Hotel nice but seemed disorganized and understaffed. Pool area is nice but very busy. Good option to be close to airport for an early flight. Breakfast was nice.

Great hotel away from busy city! Staff were kind and attentive. Breakfast was amazing and dinner menu was very good! They just need a bigger pool!

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely hotel
Ian Martin, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is our 3rd visit and we have always felt very comfortable and very friendly, however the only thing we found this time was the dinner menu was different. We found that the dinner menu was very limited and could have done with more choices for mains and desserts. That would be our only criticism as it was much less variety than from our original stay in 2021.
Julia Dawn, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful hotel in a palace, with majestic feel. Truly a palace. Large guest rooms with elegant decor. Restaurant was surprisingly excellent. Tight roads driving into this old-world treat. Off the beaten path, so maybe not the right choice for travellers in a hurry.
