Overall, everything was good and my friend and I were satisfied, but the lack of a breakfast buffet is a weakness in my opinion, especially for a 5-star hotel. I have traveled to many countries and this is the first time I have not seen a breakfast buffet in a luxury hotel. However, the behaviour of the staff, the cleanliness of the hotel and the rooms were excellent.In addition, the quality of the food was very average and the variety was very limited, making it difficult for those with food allergies or who don't eat pork to choose.

Stay was ok, our fireplace was broken and our tv was broken. When we arrived in our room, I went to sit outside and our balcony had no chairs that would fit on the balcony so I called the front desk and he said that some have big balcony’s and some have none. We went to the pool one morning and we had gone to get a breakfast sand to eat. We were told that we weren’t allowed to bring outside food in despite us sitting at a table and not up at the pool. The second day we got a menu and it had virtually no breakfast items on it at all, so we left again. Also it asked if we were celebrating anything when we made the reso. And I wrote on it that I had been diagnosed with a terminal blood cancer. Approx a couple of months ago, they told me I was in remission and that was what we were celebrating. Not one person said anything about my celebration. So unimpressed.

Wonderful spa amenities but they are very popular. Lounge chairs fill up fast, so don’t expect to be able to head to the pool anytime you want. Only drawback were the dining options. Service at the Snug was slow and mistakes were made both for dinner and breakfast. Just plan on eating out in town.

One of the greatest places on earth. You’d be a fool not to stay here if you can make it work. Worth splurging. Worth selling goods or services in exchange for funds to spend on staying here. Worth doing what you gotta do. Do it, fella or madam. Do it.

warning, lawn chair, reservation list.

our stay was amazing except I didn’t know you need to put your name down for the pool lounge chairs. I was really disappointed when I showed up. I had to wait a few hours just to lay down on the lawn chair. you have to come in person to put your name down nothing over the phone.
Pools are heated at  night ! No lawn chair reservation at night. First come first serve it’s pretty empty.

We had a great stay here. The rooms are huge, so are the bathrooms and the mini kitchenette was a nice touch. We ate at both the pub and pizza restaurant which were both great. The pool area though a bit crowded was still relaxing and the pools have views you can't beat.
