“The location on the Gold Coast waterfront is certainly impressive, and the Italian craftsmanship is evident, but some aspects require attention; a recent experience indicates that specific rooms and services may not consistently meet five-star expectations. While the glamour and fine dining are definite appeals, prospective guests might want to inquire about recent updates to ensure their stay aligns with the hotel's promise of luxury.”
