the spa's loccitane treatments felt particularly special. tati provided an amazing hammam experience, and ayu's reset facial was sublime. ana, riky, and taisia offered such a warm welcome that i appreciated. nasir's care around the jacuzzi area added to the romantic tranquility.

The breakfast had a good variety. The staff provided attentive service (especially Zaheer, he was always smiling!). The bathroom featured a generous tub and a powerful rainfall shower head.
I noticed that when I asked for a late check-out the day before my departure, I was told the hotel was fully booked even though online availability suggested otherwise.

mixed feelings at this hotel

unattentive staff accumulating plates
the elevators operated efficiently. the system proved excellent during peak hours.
i found the service lacking attentiveness. upon entering the club lounge, staff did not acknowledge my presence or offer seating. empty plates accumulated on the small table, yet staff only refilled my wine without clearing them. the luxury french hospitality seems absent here.

the breakfast area felt chaotic. it wasn't a full buffet, and i had to order specific items at the table like an omelette. this caused confusion and delays, we loved the pool. but the view was amazing! also, i found the gym lacking in equipment for a hotel of this caliber. there were limited options for a comprehensive workout.
