Pros:

Lovely architecture and nice garden. The staff was also good.

Cons:

The hotel had a wedding party one night with loud music. We complained and then they stopped the music so that we could finally sleep.
You can only have a shower in the bath tub which is difficult to enter and exit.
There were no mattresses on the loungers.

Wonderful location, large rooms, hopefully it will return to its glory days.
Pros:

Beautiful location
Super big rooms

Cons:

Staff though nice and polite were little bewildered, I heard that there were a few that were let go and therefore everyone was on tenterhooks. Perhaps the management had just changed. A swift and honest complaint got the attention and the next day at breakfast they laid it on for us. I think generally staff were well meaning, but there was a bit of uncertaintaty from management. Hopefully things will change.
