10/10 Exceptional

Great spot

I arrived after dark and was happy to have a clean quiet room, and in hotel restaurant. The bar was quiet and not staffed, given this was off season this was staffed lighter than may have been during busier times of the year. Light renovations were ongoing to improve the building non impacted me. Wish I had arrived in day light to better know my surroundings. Great location near the beach and beach restaurant. Pool overlooking the ocean was nice, too windy to enjoy. The food at dinner and breakfast was good and room comfortable. Staff was great to coordinate airport pickup/dropoff.

Awesome view and service

The service was impeccable. The staff greeted me by name before even providing my booking. Throughout the stay staff were friendly and helpful. The views are gorgeous .Slight improvement could be made such as placing the curtain on the opposite side to maximise the view and having a square toilet seat on a square toilet. Would recommend.

2/10 Poor

Horrific from start to finish

The worst stay ever at a Radisson Blue. Foul smelling water dripping from the vent in the room and no water for a day (the only place in the area so it wasn’t widespread). We were moved to another sea facing room and there was a cockroach. Other people in our party also had cockroaches in their rooms - the rooms are dirty. The restaurant would not give the bar ice cream to make dom pedros that we asked for (it’s the same premise) so we went to Mac Donalds and the bar staff made them for us. THERE IS NO SERVICE OR INTEREST WHEN YOU STAY HERE This hotel should not have the Radisson name. Radisson WAS my preferred hotel but no longer after this stay

6/10 Good

the view from the 17th floor was great. however, the furniture in the room is already very worn and the outside area by the pool was dirty.
Hendrik, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Not usual standard of a Radisson.

The photos of this hotel make it look far better than in person to be honest! There were signs in the lift advising of 'soft refurbishment' being undertaken which would have been helpful to know upon making the reservation. Not what we expect from the Radisson brand. The photo shown of the bar area is not what we saw - there was a make-shift bar in the corner and a large area with no furniture in so we can only assume that they had ripped out the main bar as part of the refurb. It was very odd and looked a bit abandoned/empty so not a comfortable or relaxing environment to spend an evening in.

Amazing views

6/10 Good

Horrible new bathroom trend in hotels

There is a new trend in hotel design worldwide which this hotel follows and it needs to stop. Not having proper walls and doors in bathrooms within the room. There is no privacy since the walls are now made of cristal so all the bedroom is illuminated by the bathroom, and the doors don't shot so noise and smell flow into the bedroom effortlessly. There is no way of going into the bathroom and not waking up other people in the room. It's a nightmare when traveling with friends and work colleagues! This Radisson Blue feels like in need of a full renovation.

It’s okay

Decent place but AC in room was weak, had to prop the window open with a spoon, and laundry service was abysmal. But other than that it was just fine. Restaurant/bar was good. Front desk was friendly and helpful.
