Igikai was awesome and Tutto Mundo was also very good. The outside pool was perfect temp for lap swimming. The Aufguss at the sauna was, by far, best I’ve ever experienced with energy and enthusiasm unparalleled elsewhere. Evening concerts were very high quality.

Disappointing to say the least. Non existent service, clueless staff, untrained personnel. Highlights were the Michelin - simply amazing. Thai food was the worst. Facilities are of course amazing but with no staff or service to support it, it all fails.

4/10 Poor

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service
Durchs Band schlechter Service: nach dem Check-in muss man das Zimmer selbst suchen, beim Abendessen wird einem kein Tisch gezeigt, beim Frühstück wartet man immer über eine Viertelstunde auf den Kaffee, am Morgen früh läuft im Gang vor dem Zimmer schon der Staubsauger. Diese Liste lässt sich beliebig erweitern. Die Zimmer sind eher einfach, klein und nicht komfortabel. Das Hotel ist eine Enttäuschung, vor allem wenn man die enorm hohen Preise in Betracht zieht. Es entspricht eher einem Mittelklassehotel.
