Acceptable, but some issues noted
long wait times limited reception rooms
The hotel garden was beautiful. (It was nice.)
The breakfast service was not great for a supposed five-star hotel. The wait times were long, and communication seemed difficult. I seemed like i was bothering the staff. There was also only one area serving as a bar, breakfast spot, and restaurant. I would expect more reception rooms at this price point.

beautiful design amazing breakfast confusing process unheated pool
The building has a beautiful design. The gardens were pretty and offered lovely views of the sea. Breakfast was amazing. I enjoyed eating in the garden each day. The room was stylish and comfortable. The bathroom was spacious and well-equipped.
The check-in process was confusing. I had to wait a long time though I arrived before 3:00 pm. I ordered a chicken sandwich without cheese, it came filled with cheese. It made me sick later. The pool is tiny and unheated.
