excellent stay, great service
friendly staff helpful information fresh flowers
i found the staff friendly and helpful. lucas provided great information for my trip, like where to go and what to see. he even booked a winery tour for me when it was fully booked online. the hotel was beautifully decorated with fresh flowers everywhere.
i did notice that a bar was missing for a five star hotel. the seating area next to the restaurant was quite small, i thought. breakfast was also somewhat basic, i must admit.

unpleasant odor staff training
the location was acceptable because it was close enough to walk to places.
i found the air conditioning emitted an unpleasant odor and that was not pleasant. the breakfast was basic, especially when compared to the price i paid to stay here. the staff need more training because their service isnt befitting of a five-star hotel.

a luxurious stay with minor hiccups
hidden tv steam shower central location
The hotel decor impressed me. There were tvs cleverly hidden inside the mirrors! the shower featured steam functionality, a luxurious addition i enjoyed a lot. i found the pillow menu a nice touch, it allowed customization for optimal comfort. the location was quite central. Reaching various points of interest was easy by foot.
I noted the absence of a dedicated bar. The seating area near the restaurant felt small. waiting times for breakfast occurred a lot! the range seemed basic for a five-star hotel, mostly fruit and cakes were available.

The breakfast buffet presented varied options. a la carte items required additional payment. seasonal fruits and warm dishes enhanced the selection. the service extended until 11 am, giving a relaxed start to the day.

The room provided two sinks alongside a rainfall shower. The provided robes felt luxurious against my skin. It was relaxing. Breakfast offered fresh fruit, and they served delicious pastries every morning. The staff ensured the room remained super clean daily.
The elevator was occasionally slow during peak hours, though it wasn't a major issue.

The hotel's amenities include a really nice pool and a fantastic spa area. The bed and linen felt great. The room had everything I needed and was VERY comfortable. I appreciated how easy it was to reach everything in this perfect sized hotel. It reminded me of staying at a friend's sumptuous villa.
