My experience at the hotel was quite pleasant, enjoying stunning views from my marina-facing room and a lovely rooftop pool. While the breakfast buffet offered an impressive selection, the chaotic check-in process was frustrating and took away from an otherwise enjoyable stay. Overall, it's a decent option if you can overlook the reception hiccups.
