Relaxing stay in a fabulous hotel.
Pros:

The location is superb, lovely and quiet but a short walk into the town. The staff were lovely and so helpful. The pool area is superb, really enjoyed relaxing on the comfy loungers and enjoyed the pool bar. Breakfast was really good too.

Everything was great.

Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis leider nicht gegeben
Pros:

Das Hotel verfügt über eine schöne Poolanlage (leider etwas zu wenig Sonnenschirme vorhanden) und hat eine hervorragende Lage.

Besonders positiv hervorheben möchten wir das Abendessen: Das Essen war wirklich ausgezeichnet und für uns eines der Highlights des Aufenthalts. Auch die schöne Terrasse, auf der man am Abend essen und anschliessend Cocktails geniessen kann, hat uns sehr gefallen. Einige Mitarbeiter waren ausgesprochen freundlich und aufmerksam, insbesondere die Herren, die uns abends auf der Terrasse bedient haben.

Cons:

Im Vergleich mit anderen „Leading Hotels of the World“, die wir bereits besucht haben, konnte uns dieses Hotel nicht vollständig überzeugen. Für ein Hotel dieser Kategorie haben uns insbesondere die Liebe zum Detail und ein konstant hoher Servicestandard gefehlt. Dies zeigte sich beispielsweise an verwelkten oder bereits abgestorbenen Blumen, die unserer Meinung nach in einem Hotel dieses Niveaus umgehend ersetzt werden sollten.

Besonders enttäuschend war das Frühstück. Beim Check-in wurde es uns als Highlight angekündigt, unsere Erwartungen konnte es jedoch keineswegs erfüllen. Sowohl die Auswahl als auch die Präsentation des Buffets entsprechen unserer Meinung nach nicht dem Standard, den man in diesem Preissegment erwarten darf.

Auch beim Service gab es deutliche Unterschiede. Teilweise führten mangelnde Englischkenntnisse zu Formulierungen wie „What do you want to drink?“ oder „What do you want?“, was wir für ein Hotel dieser Kategorie als unpassend empfanden.

Sehr enttäuschend war zudem eine Situation beim Frühstück. Als wir gegen 10 Uhr nach einem Tisch draussen fragten, schaute ein Mitarbeiter auf seine Uhr und lachte über unsere Anfrage mit dem Hinweis, dass wir um diese Zeit keinen Aussenplatz mehr erwarten könnten. Er prüfte nicht einmal, ob ein Tisch verfügbar war. Eine freundliche und professionelle Antwort hätten wir in einem Hotel dieses Standards erwartet.

Pros:

Location is unbeatable. Villa is definitely royal

Cons:

Some members of staff lack training. Restaurant staff is noisy and inattentive. Some of the equipment has aged badly (room service tables do not fully open). Pillows are hard.
