I recently stayed at this resort and was impressed with the breathtaking views from the hotel. The clean and modern rooms offered a cozy escape, although they got a bit warm during the day due to the large windows. The dining experience, though good, didn't quite match the high expectations I had, particularly for breakfast. Despite a few hiccups, it was a great value for the price, especially given the beautiful surroundings.

I recently stayed at this resort, and while it had an amazing view over the city, the rooms were unbearably warm and noisy due to the single glazed windows. The dining options were quite varied, but I found the overall dining experience to be lacking compared to other places I've visited. I did appreciate the well-maintained pool area, which was a great place to unwind. Overall, while the location made up for some of the downsides, it wasn't ideal for the price I paid.

The hotel offers an amazing view and a fantastic location on a hill dominating the city, making it perfect for sightseeing. The room was spacious, featuring a large window that allowed for great natural light, but it also made the space unbearably warm and noisy. The services provided were exceptional, and the meals were very good, though my dining experience could have been enhanced with more variety. Overall, the hotel gives good value for money but ensure you keep the window covered in warmer weather.
