Radisson Blu Tru to its Brand
A lovely property well positioned and situated. Manager was very helpful. The only reason I am rating them 4 iso 5 is that it took me at least 7 to 8 calls before someone answered the phone at the property when I called to say I would be checking in late. Housekeeping takes forever to come up to your room. Breakfast was a nightmare, too many people and too little space, wait was for at least an hour before you could be seated. I expected a bigger spread for the large 4-star hotel. Other than that, spectacular views from the room and easy access to the Oceans Mall.

Party venue.
All good until 2 30am when a party started in the room next door and call reception 2 times and they sent the party down to the pool area just below my window. Call reception another 2 times and nothing happened. But 4 30am it finally the party ended. Nice to get up at 530 to catch a morning flight after a night like that.

The property was not close to the beach as it was advertised on the web. It is inconvenient to get in and out of the property due to the heavy traffic Room was not ready when we got to the reception . We had to wait for about 3 hours before we got one.

Great stay
Lovely hotel in a beautiful and safe neighborhood- it was so convenient that it was attached to a shopping center and that there was a boardwalk that was safely in walking distance to get outside. The staff were all splendid and the room were modern and clean. Would return again

Halves
I really dont like that half toilet rolls were put in my room. I think those halves should be kept for the public toilets in the hotel and not the rooms. its really not hygienic.
