Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Underwhelming! This property has the foundations to be extraordinary (especially given its location), yet the customer service is severely lacking. Rude staff on check-in. Room not ready at the specified time (3pm). No apology given. No offer to help with bags to our room. Room dirty with a stained bath, sofa, curtains, bathroom floor. And the spa, a small pool with 5 loungers is not sufficient given the hotel capacity. The food is severely overpriced and is satisfactory at best. Burnt food and poor service. For the price point the hotel is NOT worth the money. Do yourself a favour and spend your money elsewhere. There is much better out there at a fraction of the price.
