Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The breakfast buffet stands out, with a wide variety of high-quality dishes, including made-to-order omelets.

Gelateria La Romana is very close to the hotel.

I stayed at this top notch hotel and felt pampered. My premium king room had modern decor and a very clean bathroom. The breakfast had excellent variety. The lounge is a standout! The spa is first rate and features jacuzzis. It was really easy to unwind after a busy day.
