Book a Room with a View
Several guests mentioned that the views from the rooms were spectacular. Opting for a room with a balcony facing the fountain comes highly recommended.
Consider All-Inclusive Package
If you opt for the all-inclusive package, be aware that while the food choices are plenty, they can become repetitive during a week-long stay. Additionally, the non-alcoholic cocktail choices are limited, so it might be worth exploring other dining options nearby.
Plan Poolside Lounging
If you want to secure a bed by the pool, it's best to be there by 10:00 AM, especially on sunny days. However, be mindful that not all rooms get sun during the day, so some sun loungers on the balcony may be in the shade.
Be Mindful of Room Selection
Some rooms are next to paths where people walk by, reducing privacy. If privacy is a concern, it's advisable to discuss room options with the hotel staff to ensure the chosen room meets your expectations.
Check for Spa Inclusions
The spa, wellness center, pool, steam room, and sauna are all included in room bookings, but some guests were not informed about this. It's recommended to inquire about all inclusions upon check-in to make the most of the facilities.
Consider Nearby Dining Options
While the hotel offers dining options, some guests found the food at the a la carte restaurant to be subpar. Exploring local restaurants and cafes nearby might provide a more satisfying dining experience.
Arrive Early for Poolside Entertainment
Guests were impressed by the poolside Sax entertainment, especially as the entertainer took requests. If you enjoy poolside entertainment, arriving early to secure a good spot is advisable.
Be Aware of Sun Lounger Shade
Not all rooms receive sun during the day, which means that sun loungers on the balcony may be in the shade. If sunbathing is a priority, consider this when selecting a room.
Check for Privacy in Room Selection
Some rooms lack privacy due to their proximity to pathways where people walk by. If privacy is important to you, it's recommended to discuss room options with the hotel staff to ensure the chosen room meets your expectations.
Explore Local Dining Options
While the hotel offers dining options, some guests found the food at the a la carte restaurant to be subpar. Exploring local restaurants and cafes nearby might provide a more satisfying dining experience.
