The stay at the hotel was first class. The buffet with a lot of food and many varieties. The room was very clean and cozy. The hotel is located in a very beautiful place. Everything was fine until the cleaners lost my personal pillow from home, which was very different from the hotel pillows. They changed beds and took her away. The pillow was special, it wasn't just any old one.

During our honeymoon, we chose to celebrate our special night at this hotel. The room was truly spectacular on the floor 24. However, we discovered that the quality of the view depends on how much you're willing to spend, which was unexpected because we paid already a lot. We requested a late checkout but found that it only extended until midday, which was somewhat disappointing. Our biggest disappointment, though, was the lack of clarity regarding additional amenities such as a sauna or spa area, which incurred extra charges not clearly communicated on the website or at reception. Only swimming pool and fitness area are for free, which is also included in almost every hotel. Furthermore, we were disappointed to find that the top area, boasting stunning views, was exclusive to certain members and not accessible to all guests. On a positive note, breakfast was quite satisfying albeit a bit pricey. The staff were wonderful and attentive throughout our stay. Overall, while our experience had its highlights, we believe there are better options available for a similar price point and level of quality.

It was good but the rooms given to two of us were totally different. In one of the rooms bathtub was not given. The room keeping people did not refill the things like dental kits, shaving kits etc. which is not expected from a 5 star hotel.
