    Rooms are large and facilities are very good for spa, pool and gym.

    Food is very average. While the rest of the staff in the hotel are great the multiple restaurants are B staff are not attentive as wait staff and of disappear even in an near empty room. Food takes forever to come out of kitchen.

    Amazing. Luxury. The spa was incredible with the lovely steam rooms and massage was well worth it. Facilities are more than comfortable. Relaxing. Even tho it’s a large hotel the beautiful gardens bring a peacefulness to the place. The staff are amazing welcoming and cannot do enough for you to feel welcome. Hospitality is incredible. Food is excellent. Had a few local dishes which I really enjoyed.

    Loved everything.

    Clean room, comfy bed, hot shower. lovely pool area. Good location.

    Very hard to find parking at the hotel. Always full with political events and all their security. The hotel is expensive too, for what you get.
