Serenity now...

Negative Reviews

A few poor reviews for the restaurant.
Though most guests enjoy the food, an unfortunate smaller group had disappointing experiences to report, ranging from small portion sizes to high-priced drinks.
negative:
Some rooms in need of TLC.
Though many note the rooms are clean and comfortable, several also describe the decor and finishes are "tired", "dated", or "worn". A few guests were also disturbed by noise from the lifts, event venue, or their neighbours.
negative:
Size does matter, for some...
Several guests felt that the spa was on the small side, noting there are only two heated lounge chairs, no whirlpool, and a main pool not quite large enough for swimming laps in.
