8.4/10 Very Good! (1,009 reviews)
Stayed here as an overnighter before a 7.30 am flight home. It is about 5 minutes from the airport. The public spaces are very impressive. The pool area is a bit soulless, but the pool is fine. We ate at the Thai restaurant which was OK but nothing special. Starters and mains were brought out at the same time. Our room looked pretty dated and a bit shabby, but everything worked. Decent option for a stop over but somewhere I'd like to stay in other circumstances.

Was given the wrong room that I had paid for initially and told there were no other rooms available even though I received a message before hand telling me everything was ready. When I complained about not having the sea view I paid for, magically within 7 minutes this room was available...not something I expect from a W hotel.
