What guests report

View
High floors offer partial or full sea views; lower and mid-range rooms blocked by buildings in front
Bed & mattress
Generally comfortable and spacious with high-quality mattresses; pillows notably too soft for some guests
Bathroom & water
Large bathrooms with bathtub windows; poor water pressure and inconsistent hot/cold temperature control
Breakfast
Excellent quality and variety with fresh options; highly praised as one of best hotel breakfasts; worth the package upgrade
AC / heating
Unreliable; several reports of AC not working or extremely weak despite setting to maximum; requires checking on arrival
Elevator
Unreliable

Local knowledge

Request rooms on higher floors (23rd+) for better sea views and to avoid noise from The Walk below
Book half-board package for better value; breakfast buffet is consistently praised but dinner variety can be limited
Arrive early for breakfast during peak times to avoid 30+ minute queues that extend to elevators
