8/10 Very good

Friendly, attentive staff. Comfortable bed. Clean rooms. I didn’t use the spa. The gym could use another eliptical machine and a bench press machine, but it’s fairly well equipped. I recommend eating at other hotels and restaurants in the nearby area. Don’t order their pizza under any circumstances. It’s awful. You can walk to the small beach just to the north, and there is a lovely restaurant on the sand. Great spot for lunch or sunset drinks. The hotel beach is public, but was not crowded (Late March) and is beautiful. Breakfast is always a buffet, over priced, and there’s better food nearby. They offer bikes for free, which is a nice touch.

Beautiful hotel, great location! Very close to a beautiful beach and the property was great. Rooms were spacious and very comfortable. The pool and lounges were amazing. If you want to be close to the strip this is a little further away but we were ok with that as this was a nice quiet stay. Hotel was a short walk to some great restaurants and decently close to the marina. Had a great stay.

The hotel and grounds are superb. However the swimming pools are prohibitively cold, most guests fold they could not swim. Housekeeping did an excellent job, especially Rosie. The gym is great and the spa area was kept clean.

The room was okay but the TV app kept on crashing and I complained about it for 3 days and nothing was done so in the end I gave up. Daily housekeeping could be better.

We loved our stay at this hotel. The facilities were immaculate, the pool area was gorgeous, breakfast was lovely and the photos definitely don’t do the wellness centre enough justice. The gym was amazing as well as the indoor pool area and the spin studio. Would definitely return, every member of staff was so lovely and we had a very luxurious holiday!
