Overall very pleasant
Pros:

The view, the facilities, lots around (resturants, beach, dessert places) The place itself has a nice bar, pool, restaurant.

Cons:

The staff weren't knowledgeable like a 5 star hotel. They didn't know information about the pools/differences between each and who they cater to.
Asked front desk for a spare towel, never came.

Beautiful Hotel but needs to step up on cleaniness.
Pros:

Right by the beach, beautifully decorated, accessible to many restaurants.

Cons:

Stayed for 5 nights and for 3 of those nights we didn’t get our beds made. Complained to the reception and no change was made.

Like I was stuck in an episode of love island with drunk people everywhere
Pros:

Looks nice - lots of nice areas like the pool and bars

Cons:

It was like an all weekend rave happening all through Sunday day time going until 10pm. Even the inside bars had electronic dance music blasting. Not relaxing at all. No where to sit by the pool because they had opened it to the public. The Live DJ was blasting by the pool and at 4pm the customers were all drunk. We were told by reception we didn't need to reserve a spot by the pool but then there was no where available to sit/lounge/perch.

Absolutely 💯 beautiful
Pros:

Staff were amazing, especially the man at the gym, the Greek lady in the breakfast area, the older man at the bar, very helpful and nice.
Parking was great.
Food was amazing, breakfast and at the bar.
Rooms were clean and staff at reception were great.
The bed was huge and so comfortable, the view was outstanding.
Music and vibes brilliant 🤩
Brighton was like a resort, so much to do offering you a fantastic time. I actually thought I was on a Greek island.
I would definitely go back if the prices a touch cheaper.
I didn’t want to leave 😔

Cons:

Room service was slow and pricey.
For the price we paid I thought the room could have been larger plus the balcony.
Bathroom looked bigger in the photos.
All in all though that’s it.

Beautiful Hotel - Terrible stay. Expensive, Loud at night, Restaurant & Facilities overrun by locals wanting to part
Pros:

Beautiful property, comfy beds, good facilities. Unfortunately ruined by catering to those not staying here

Cons:

Was there to attend a conference which means early mornings and long days. We were told when we arrived during summer they hold parties every Friday - Sunday night. Was told the volume gets turned down around 10pm, it didn’t until 12:30pm. Was told being on the 12th floor I wouldn’t hear it. That was wrong, it was so loud I asked to switch rooms to the other side of the building. Which meant a downgrade in room.

The inside restaurant also becomes unbearably loud from 5 or 6pm, can’t have dinner inside and hold a conversation. Catering to outside people coming in to party.

The cost to stay there you would think guests take priority over a pool party & outside guests. Not the case.

When using the inside facilities we spoke to someone who goes there frequently just to use the facilities because they live close by. They were jumping in/out of pools, following us to the sauna - putting excessive amounts of water on then leaving immediately. People letting their kids splash around in the spa after arriving after those in there. Completely inconsiderate people who weren’t paying to stay again being catered to.

Also had an issue with a staff member enter my room without knocking. The manager on duty the next day handled things perfectly, accommodated my room change with ease & spoke to the staff ensuring they would be trained better. She was very professional & a saving grace to the hotel. My review would have been far worse if not for her.

I wouldn’t choose to stay here again. Unfortunately the scene they have catered to is those coming to party, not those spending $500/night to actually stay at the hotel.

Very disappointing
