Fabulous decor prefect location
Pros:

The location is fabulous, great clothing and food choices
The room was small but the bed was comfortable and good shower and bathroom
Lovely architecture, clean lines , minimalist . Very friendly staff

Cons:

When we arrived we had to wait for room and wanted to coffee in the reception area but we're not allowed to have a drink there which is pretty strange for a hotel. The bar/restaurant was serving lunch and noisy .
Also don't like it when hotels don't automatically include breakfast in their rates , never makes sense

Simply fabulous!
Pros:

This was our first stay and hopefully not our last. We had two nights for a birthday celebration. We really love this hotel. Large, spacious, modern and sensibly styled room with comfortable bed, good pillows and air conditioning. Lots of natural light with a view of the city. The hotel has a very European feel about it. We loved Hellenika’s restaurant for breakfast and snacks & cocktails by the pool. If this hotel was ‘adults only’, it would be perfect. It is quite family orientated which is fine but we did find it a bit irritating laying by the pool and having kids jump, splash and make noise all day long with parents too focused on sunning themselves and sipping cocktails rather than look after their children. It did get a little tiring. The pool is well managed but there are limited beds so it can be a challenge to find somewhere so lay down. We waited for about 30 minutes on both days to find somewhere which was a little frustrating. Families spread out and do take quite a lot of the space. Nonetheless, this hotel really sets a high standard and is exceptional. We opted to pay $40 a day and park under the building. Staff throughout the hotel are friendly, helpful and warm. The hotel is perfectly located with lots of shops and other restaurants located close by. We will definately be back!

An exceptional stay
Pros:

Every detail was thoughtfully considered. The rooms were spacious and beautifully appointed with little touches that made our stay truly special. From luxurious beds with pillow menus and motorised block-out blinds to beautiful linen robes, plush towels and filtered water stations.

The standout was the poolside experience which was vibrant, relaxed and elevated by live DJs, creating a space that was hard to leave.

The staff were warm and welcoming and on the rare occasion we stepped outside the hotel, the added bonus of discounts at the surrounding stores in the precinct was a thoughtful inclusion.

It’s rare to find a place where every element feels so well considered.

Nice to try, falling short in basic areas.
Pros:

Aesthetically the property looks lovely. Ammenities are nice. But they fell short in many areas.

Cons:

No availability at the pool. By 8am everyday, every lounger by the pool was already taken, it was impossible to get a spot by the pool at any other time. Slow service at breakfast, 40 minute wait for food after you ordered it, although it was good. Poor make up of rooms daily, shower ammenities weren’t replaced, toilet paper wasn’t replaced, face clothes weren’t replaced. Beds were pulled up and not properly made. The bathroom toilets at Hellenika were in need of a clean, around the back of the toilet was really dirty, built up grime.

Check in is 2pm but we had to wait until 2:25pm for our room as it wasn’t ready.

Rooms were made up or cleaned until 3:30pm each day which was just too late in the day.

For the price you’d expect a complimentary bottle of water in the room you can refill, there was none.

Nice so try but wouldn’t go back.
