My stay at the hotel was truly remarkable, featuring impeccable service and luxurious dining options. The views from the seaview suite were stunning and the spa facilities, particularly the pool and sauna, were a wonderful addition to my experience. While the price might be on the higher side, the overall value justified it. However, I did encounter a minor issue with slot booking for the sauna, which could be improved.
