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.

The large windows provided fantastic natural light, and the staff was really friendly. The breakfast was also really nice. However, the price for the stay was a bit on the higher side.
