Honest review

What could be better

  • Stop requiring hotel guests to pay exorbitant fees or purchase expensive champagne to use core facilities like the beach club's best sunbeds and the designated pool areas.
  • Urgently address reports of stolen personal property (like the necklace) by increasing staff integrity, implementing rigorous lost-and-found protocols, and ensuring follow-up communication is proactive and apologetic.
  • Correct fundamental room issues like broken shower doors, water leakage in bathrooms, and non-slip hazards, and update dated bathroom fixtures to match the hotel's luxury status.

How we choose

Every hotel on this list is cross-checked across Google, Booking.com, Tripadvisor, Agoda and Hotels.com — plus first-hand traveler accounts on Reddit, Instagram, and TikTok.

When affiliate links earn a small commission, we disclose it; it never influences which hotels appear here.
