The hotel feels more like a 3, 3.5* hotel. Maybe 25 years ago it was 5*. It is now however feeling quite old in the rooms, furnitures looking tired and also the pool area. The rooms were clean though and there was good air conditioning

Property has some aging issues. Shower drain was backing up. Asked front desk to address the issue, it was never looked at. There was a fixture hanging out of the wall over the bath tub. Asked for ironing board, when I received it, it was broken. On a positive note the breakfast and dinners were excellent.

The staff was rude from the beginning and continued throughout the whole stay. We stayed in the panorama room, only one working outlet throughout the entire room, no outlets in the bathroom, the large bed was two twins pushed together with a gap, the top bed cover and pillows were not clean, the beds were so uncomfortable. Nothing is upgraded, I dont know how this is a 5 star hotel.
Since there are no outlets in the bathroom, you get this hairdryer.
Pillows.

Needs maintenance

Rooms on both occasions were in need of maintenance. Toilet seat was loose, and second room rhe fridge door was not attached to the outer cupboard making it difficult to open. In general the rooms need attention and maintenance and would not grade this as 5 star.

Not a 5 star

Had to change my deluxe room on arrival as it stank of cigarettes and there were grease marks on the headboard from someone’s hair . Bed was hard as iron . Furniture was very outdated … 3 star at best

It's a beautiful hotel and is very conveniently located however the hotel certainl could use some improvements. First issue was with the door keys; I ended up having to have the keys reprogrammed 4 times throughout my stay. Next there was the fact that the rooms could really use some updates, the television appeared to be from the late 90s with a remote that barely worked and it would have been nice if there had been some usb plugs in the room, which could be incorporated with some new lighting as two of the three lamps in the room werent functioning. Finally the breakfast was certainly not worth paying extra for. Not much variety and it was quite bland, there are so many quality breakfast options near the hotel so skip the hotel breakfast. I know this all sounds like a lot of negative but overall these were minor inconveniences and I was quite pleased with the hotel as a whole. The location was great, the staff kind and helpful, and nice pool which was a perfect way to escape the heat for a bit.

Really enjoyed this hotel and the location. What I didn't like is when you book through Expedia, you have to also pay taxes at the end of the stay. I wish it was just one total price. Pretty annoying!
