The room was perfect, every small thing was so thought out for the guest. Things like an amazing shower head, tiny Nespresso machine, robe, and even the alarm clock. Though I didn't use it, the pool/sauna and fitness area were modern and had so many useful machines. Even the stairwell was clean and styled. Easy walk to some restaurants and a nice walk by the water. The front desk host who checked me in was incredibly nice and helpful. You can tell they are trying to make this a great place to stay.

Beautiful hotel but front entrance had eight stairs and no ramp, so very difficult with heavy suitcases. Tudor lounge food was terrible and barely edible. Room was great, so was pool and hot tub and the rest of the amenities.
