My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the grand atmosphere and spacious areas were impressive, I found the service lacking, with long queues and rude staff significantly impacting my vacation. The location offers good access to the beach but the dining options were chaotic and disappointing. Overall, it's a case of managing your expectations for what a 5-star experience should be.

I recently returned from a week at this hotel, and while the ambiance and room quality were quite impressive, there were several disappointments.
