I had a lovely stay at the hotel, enjoying its unique cruise-ship design and clean environment. The rooms were spacious and came with nice amenities, though I encountered some minor issues. The pool area was inviting, and I appreciated the variety of nearby restaurants, although the location required some driving to explore more. Overall, it was good value for money, but there are areas that could be improved for a true 5-star experience.

I had a fantastic weekend at the hotel, enjoying the peace and tranquility it offered. The suite upgrade was worth every penny, providing ample space and comfort with great amenities. The pool area was lovely and perfect for relaxation, but the dining experience left a bit to be desired, especially regarding dinner choices. Overall, it was a value-for-money stay, but improvements in dining could enhance the experience.

The Senator Hotel has a lovely pool area and a peaceful atmosphere, which I truly enjoyed. However, I found it to be more like a 3-star experience despite being rated as 5 stars. The service was not consistent, and the location was quite inconvenient, making it difficult to access nearby amenities without a bit of effort.

I had mixed feelings about my stay. While the rooms were nice and spacious, the overall atmosphere felt dated and not quite five-star. The staff were certainly helpful and attentive, but the dining prices were a letdown compared to local options, and I found the spa services no longer offered the same value as before.

Rooms

The rooms were spacious and comfortable, featuring a Nespresso machine, but the balcony area was underwhelming considering our solitude on the floor.
