Magnificent historical building
Pros:

In the middle of the center and good location if you stay a night or 2. The building is beautifully decorated and maintained.

Cons:

Outside is a little noisy if your room is faced to the main road. The pool is great but not many beach decks and not well layouted. The breakfast was kind of boring.

Good experience, but not 5*
Pros:

Beautiful historic building, nice pool area, very good food.

Cons:

Some aspects of the hotel are not 5*:

- Noise from the pool area due to big groups overtaking the pool and playing ball games, making it not very relaxing. This can also be heard from rooms by the pool due to limited soundproofing. For a 5-star resort with a small pool area, there could be more rules in place to make sure everyone can enjoy the space and relax.

- Staff in the restaurant are not proactive, especially at breakfast. No one comes over to take your order or explain the menu or ask if you would like a hot drink; you have to chase them.

- Staff are not very helpful or accommodating with requests, even for something simple like wanting to have lunch outside. In comparison to some lower star hotels we stayed in, some requests felt difficult.
