Reviews

Melanie 9/10

Canada 🇨🇦

Pros: Everything. We enjoyed the pool/lobby area with unlimited coffee and tea options. The staff were great and our room was pretty spacious. Breakfast options were pretty good. Location is great as well, well tucked in but close enough (3 mins walk) to the main strip.

Cons: We are early birds family so I wish the breakfast could start a little bit earlier (more of a suggestion than a complain).

Great stay, nice location, very relaxing - highly recommended!

Pros: Wonderful, small, secluded hotel (in proximity of the main things, but quiet and not on the main street). Loved the pool - wonderful for a morning or evening dip. Exceptionally delicious breakfast with a variety of mostly European/ American options. Very friendly staff. All in all we had a lovely stay! Especially Steven, who was the waiter during breakfast on our first day, was super friendly, welcoming and helpful 🙏🏻

Cons: It seems that the owner of the hotel was at the property, while we were there as well, and at times we could hear and observe business conversations about some challenges, rather critical feedback to employees etc. in open spaces of the hotel. While the tone was alright in itself and it is of course the property of this kind sir, these frequent one-way feedbacks to the employees made us feel a bit tense / uneasy.. personally for us it would have been more relaxing if such conversations were taken in the office behind closed doors (if need be), especially when the hotel area and pool area are not so large and one can hear these conversations clearly.
