Overall, a good hotel, but for this price level the experience felt inconsistent.
Overall, the hotel is nice and well located. The rooms are exceptionally clean, very cozy, and comfortable to stay in - cleanliness is definitely one of the strongest points. The general service is good, and room service was excellent: very tasty food, reasonable prices, and high-quality service. The massage (including pregnancy massage) was excellent
For a 5-star hotel, several aspects were disappointing. Communication before arrival was poor. I emailed the hotel days in advance and never received a reply, and the reservations phone was never answered. On Booking, messages showed an automatic reply saying the person was on vacation, which made it unclear whether the message was delivered. Eventually, all questions were handled by reception. Misleading information about half board. When booking, dinner was described as a buffet (with shorter winter hours). In reality, it was a limited set menu, which was not communicated in advance. At the restaurant entrance, we were first told the price was €45 per person, despite having half board, and were only allowed in after our booking was checked. The explanation given was low winter occupancy and food waste, but this should be clearly communicated before booking. At minimum, basic drinks should be included. In hindsight, it would have been much better to book a room with breakfast only (around €100 cheaper) and simply order room service if needed. The set menu was very limited and largely duplicated the room service menu. Drinks were not included, even water. Considering the price, the value for money was poor. In hindsight, booking breakfast only and using room service would have been a much better option.

A very luxurious hotel, we will definitely return.
Clean and spacious hotel, all the staff we met were courteous, very luxurious room, wonderful breakfast, varied, fresh and delicious ingredients. We had dinner at the Italian and Asian restaurants, both of which were wonderful - it was delicious and of a very high standard.
The hotel is a little far from everything, but it didn't bother us.

Beautiful, grand and charming hotel. Heartily recommended!
Grand in style but friendly. Superbly maintained indoors and attractive outdoor areas. Breakfast and bar food were both very good quality and involved a wide range of choice. Room was delightful, well-equipped and very clean. Large comfortable bed. Special mention must go to the charming and extraordinarily helpful Fonser (?) who did the meeting and greeting. Lovely chap!
Nothing. Not often I give 5 stars. This deserved it!

Interior and design of the hotel was really impressive. Bed was big and very comfortable. Room was new and modern. Breakfast was really delicious and sufficient options to choose from. Service staff were very friendly.
Main course in the Cafe and one of the restaurant were very poor. Especially compared to the price, we expected much better meal. It would have been nice to have more festivities or activities during Christmas and New Year other than Gala dinner.

Luxury, vibrant atmosphere, you want to be there
One hour to take us to the room. Limited disabilities attention: parking, shower, room distance. TV not working. No hot water in the shower at night. I called reception, they said they will call me back, but no response. In the morning water was hot. But attitude at breakfast when we asked for a particular table and not the one the waitress wanted to give us. The waiter grabbed (and the word is important here as it hides negative attitude) my wife's bag from the chair of the next table and moved it to the table we asked without asking permission to do so.

Beautiful, luxuries and fantastic service but dissapointing suites.
Service was phenomenal. The hotel was beautiful.
We booked a suite with a private pool, but we were not informed that this pool faces away from the sun all day. The pool is not heated which means it is not usable. There were also parties/weddings every night which can get a bit noisy until 11pm.
