Luxury personified

Absolute perfection. Cannot fault this hotel. Yes, it’s expensive. But it’s also peak luxury. Would recommend time & time again. In-house dining options (Terasu & Marmor) are also 10/10. No reason to leave the hotel!

Ardo exceeded our expectations as far as the property was concerned. The rooms were a little bare with very few toiletries, no couch, and what strived to be an industrial looking ceiling, really was the dividing concrete between storeys. The most important things were all nailed; a diverse team, every one of whom was friendly and helpful. After a 14 hour day, it was nice to be met with a no fuss check in, and a great sense of humour. The rooftop pool and restaurant is like nothing I’ve ever seen before, for this reason we will be back. Thanks team Ardo for an overall lovely stay in TSV.

There’s no doubt this is a good hotel. But it was evident that it was pretty empty so we were very disappointed to be given a room on the second floor with a view of the car park, rather than on the opposite side that has spectacular views out over the ocean. If they’d done that we would have considered staying again. We won’t be back to look at the car park.
