Categories

Cleanliness
6.5
Multiple reviews cite lack of daily sheet/towel changes, rooms not cleaned regularly and dust/insects on upper beds; cleanliness is a clear weakness.
Service
10
Staff repeatedly described as friendly, attentive and helpful; manager specifically praised for addressing requests and providing upgrades, supporting a very strong service score.
Location
9.4
Several mentions of convenient location (right at the bus stop, easy access, central) and a generally quiet setting away from the boulevard — strong location sentiment.
Room Quality
8.5
Rooms praised for comfortable beds, pillows and in-room jacuzzi; some negative notes about aging rooms, a nearly-transparent bathroom door in one cabin and occasional insects/dust — overall good but inconsistent.
Amenities
8
Pools and landscaping are highlights (many pools, hot and cold, jacuzzi); however pool bar and some F&B outlets were reported closed during stays, reducing the amenity score.
Value for Money
7.5
Mixed: guests appreciated upgrades and amenities, but at least one guest reported being charged above the app rate and lack of included breakfast lowered perceived value.
Food and Beverage
6.8
Cocktails and some food were enjoyed, but multiple reports of the pool bar/restaurant being closed and breakfast not provided negatively impacted this category.
Overall Experience
8.1
Generally cozy and friendly with standout pools and service, though disturbed at times by noisy guests and operational gaps (closed bars/restaurants, cleaning issues) — overall positive but with notable caveats.

Beautiful place, would stay again.
Pros:

The place had a lot of art all over the place and it was like a little community where everybody joined each other in the middle of the estate to hang out by the pool or have some lunch at the bar.

Very nice.
Pros:

The location is perfect, and the amenities were amazing. It had many pools on the bonfire was very cool. The food and drinks were also amazing.

Cons:

The gym could have been a little bit more up-to-date.
The entrance also needs to be more visible. The sign of the entrance to the hotel very small and is very easy to miss when driving by.
