Reviews based on Food
Didn’t stay in. We came for the pool. Like most places, even in this high class hotel, the service is far from good. Had to order a coke 5x until it came. Reception made it difficult to keep our luggage and that there was no room and when I asked someone else working at the hotel, he easily found some room in the luggage room. Strange! Food is okay, but ridiculously expensive as expected.
Very nice place, the staff is very great and friendly, the food is amazing and the pool is great! Very good moment (especially the Sunday brunch 😉)
