Perfect place offering great service all round and very suited staying for business or pleasure
Pros:

Throughout friendly attentive staff, very varied breakfast, comfy room, good wifi (unlike the island's 5G), loved the roof terrace to sit outside for a few drinks, concierge organised airport transfers and a driver for a day trip, all speedy and excellent quality and price .

No hot water!
Pros:

Upon arriving at the hotel, the first impression was very positive. The property is beautiful, well-presented, and the staff were welcoming. Check-in was smooth and efficient with no issues at all. The room itself was well-appointed, clean, and comfortable—exactly what you would expect from a hotel at this level.

Unfortunately, this is where things began to go wrong.

That evening, I discovered there was no hot water. I contacted the front desk, and to their credit, they responded quickly and sent an engineer within a short time. I was told the issue had been resolved after about 30 minutes.

However, the next morning, the hot water was once again not working. When I called down, I was informed that no engineer was available at that time. I was then offered a room change, despite the fact that I was checking out within four hours—so it wasn’t a practical solution.

As a result, I had to take another cold shower. To make matters worse, while I was in the shower, the engineer arrived and repeatedly knocked on my door, despite me having already declined further assistance. Shortly after, my room phone also began ringing. It was frustrating to be interrupted while dealing with an issue that should have been properly resolved the night before.

The front desk staff clearly tried to help and were polite throughout, but the failure ultimately came down to the engineering side not fixing the problem correctly the first time.

At this price point and standard of hotel, when something like this happens, you would expect some form of goodwill gesture. Unfortunately, nothing was offered—no discount, no late checkout, not even something simple like a complimentary airport transfer. Just an apology.

Overall, while the hotel has strong positives in terms of appearance and service attitude, the lack of follow-through on a basic necessity like hot water—and the absence of any meaningful compensation—was very disappointing.
