Below average for 5 star hotel. However, it’s the only decent place you can stay if you are not going south of the island. Came with my luggage, clerk didn’t even bother to assit me or ask if I needed help.

Beautiful hotel with amazing staff.
We were staying at the hotel for a special occasion and we were not disappointed. The staff at the hotel all gave impecable customer service which made our stay a memorable one. Tge hotel which opened its door in 1890 has been renovated over the years to give all the mod cons you would expect from a 5 star hotel. The room we had was extemely comfortable and well appointed. The hotel public rooms are stunning as are the grounds and pool area. Breakfast was a true experience and qe would not hesitate to return when we are next on the Island.

Lovely property and perfectly located for our cruise embarkation. We experienced a medical emergency during our stay and the staff could not have been more helpful or caring. I only wish I could remember the name of the woman who took charge so I could thank her specifically.

I was hoping for a nice stay - what I got was a luxurious stay. I was half board and would recommend that - also - try out la poemas. All the staff were amazing - shout out to Paola, Xoel, Julia … but no one was anything other than lovely. As a solo traveller this worked for me Plenty of sunbeds for this April trip

This is a high end property so was expecting high end service, the room wasn’t ready even though we were allowed to go in, not tea/coffee facilities or mini bar been updated. Other things only little things but forgot the lemon in our gin and tonic, the room service app that they expected you to use wasn’t working so phoned through the order but due to language differences one of the orders was wrong. Asked for some blankets which should have been in our room but weren’t , asked at reception but had to phone 3 hours later as they hadn’t arrived

Fabulous hotel
Fabulous hotel within the grounds of the very picturesque Dormas Park. Would have given it a full 5* rating had it not been for insufficient drawer space in the bedroom for a 7 night stay and the noise coming from an adjacent sports centre, school, and outdoor swimming baths on the north facing side of the hotel. This was particularly irritating at times when relaxing by the hotel swimming pool or on the balcony back in the room. The rooftop bar also got quite loud in the evenings and because our room was on the floor below, not far from the source, caused me to complain. The hotel dealt with the complaint very professionally and expeditiously by moving us to a quieter room which also turned out, to our surprise, to be a free upgrade. All of the staff we encountered were very courteous and customer focused which contributed to a very enjoyable stay despite the aforementioned downsides.
