My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms boasted stunning sea views and were exceptionally well-furnished, which really enhanced the experience. The service was top-notch, especially from the team handling the room changes. On the downside, while the dining options were okay, they didn't quite meet the high expectations set by the hotel's luxurious setting. Also, the bustling location, while vibrant, might not be for everyone looking for tranquility.

I had a great stay at this hotel, as the rooms were clean with modern bathrooms, and the beach access was amazing. However, it was unfortunate that my room wasn't ready upon arrival, which delayed my check-in experience. The service overall was quite good, especially from Mr. Rasheed at valet parking, but there were a few rude staff members that brought the experience down a notch. The dining options, particularly breakfast, could definitely use some improvement in terms of variety, but the overall value felt reasonable.

I had a really pleasant stay at this hotel, especially because of the exceptional terrace room that was perfect for my family. The location was beyond my expectations, though it did get a bit crowded at times. The service was generally good, but there were a few hiccups as some staff were still learning.

My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. On one hand, the rooms were exceptional and spacious with all new furnishings, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my visit. However, my check-in took longer than expected, and the breakfast buffet was chaotic and a bit overwhelming. It's a great spot for families, but the dining experience could really use some improvement.
