The room was quite large and clean- with a king sized bed. Cleaning service was impeccable and the air conditioning kept the room a nice temperature. Rooftop bar offered great small bites and a perfect view of the main square. The pool was gorgeous and the salt room was a great amenity.

The hotel is amazing but the breakfast restaurant staff is so inattentive and rude. You literally have to go and find people to place order, keep finding them if you need anything but they are quick to appear to teach you that you can’t get your own hot coffee. God forbid you want to send your dish back… 5 stats hotel should also include 5 star service.

It shines in almost every aspect with huge spaces and very clean but there's nowhere to hang a hand towel close to sink or shower and other design flaws like having to stand from bed to turn the overhead lamp off... Or maybe it was me?... Location is excellent close to everything in a very quiet side street...

We stayed at this property for six nights and had a wonder stay. The location of the hotel is perfectly situated - adjacent to the old town square with tons of dining, shopping and sightseeing all within a few steps of the hotel doors. The rooms were quite spacious, very clean and comfortable.
