2/10 Poor

Felt Judged and Unwelcome at This Hotel
I had a disappointing experience with a particular hotel employee. I suffer from back issues, and after a long day of swimming or walking around the city, I needed a therapeutic massage. I arranged for a professional therapist to come to my room—she arrived in her uniform with all her equipment. However, the receptionist called me down to the front desk and began asking uncomfortable and inappropriate questions, such as, "Are you sure she is here only as a therapist?" To avoid any misunderstanding, I booked a male therapist the next day, also dressed professionally in his clinic uniform. Yet, the same receptionist questioned me again in the same manner. By the third day, I realized she was still on duty, and I chose not to book a therapist at all, meaning I had to endure unnecessary pain. I was tempted to confront her about this repeated behavior, but I didn’t want to ruin my vacation. However, I left feeling disappointed and unwelcome. A hotel should respect the well-being and privacy of its guests rather than making them feel uncomfortable for seeking legitimate services.

Great staff always available for you, the pool is amazing my daughter love it. My only problem was the air conditioner, you need to call the reception to set the temperature of the room, you don't have the control and during my stay the air conditioner turned off at night.
