The hotel offers a spectacular view over the Spa from its location on the Esplanade. The room had a large window with fantastic views, but the sockets were not conveniently located. The housekeeping service was top-notch, and a welcome drink was a nice touch. Dining included spare ribs but with a few letdowns. Great location though difficult to reach by foot due to its cliff-top position. Overall, a mixed experience.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is superb, right on the Esplanade over the Spa, offering stunning views and a tranquil atmosphere. The rooms were cozy with lovely views and a big bathroom, and the breakfast was top-notch. The service was exceptional with friendly staff and a nice welcome drink upon arrival. However, the dining experience could have been improved with more variety. Overall, a great value for the price.
