Honest review
What could be better
- —The quality of the food and beverage offerings must be improved to match the hotel's price point, as multiple guests reported ordering "insipid" or "frozen-tasting" fish and seafood.
- —Staff training needs urgent focus to ensure consistent, proactive five-star service, especially in the bars and restaurants where patrons felt ignored, rushed, or like "second-class guests."
- —Management must establish better communication and accountability regarding guest concerns, as demonstrated by the failure of the manager to return multiple calls about a disappointing dining experience.
