9.8/10 Exceptional! (218 reviews)
Sitting on the balcony watching the river was lovely and the room was comfortable and well appointed. Unfortunately, it is a poorly-managed property that is not in line with its “luxury” status and pricing. We arrived to find a dirty spoon in the ice bucket and someone’s dirty bathing suit in one of the drawers. We were also notified that the spa was closed, which was a major disappointment. The pool had a drown film on the bottom and a green tinge to the water. While the staff was accommodating they were poorly trained and had difficulty addressing basic questions. We won’t be going back.

The style of the property was really nice. Very conveniently located to shops amd restaurants and right across the street from the beach. What i did not like was the stains on the couch in our room amd rhe restaurant food was not the best. The waitresses and entertainment were great but food not so much. There was also what looked to be blood on one of the bed pillows.
