"A safe, if businesslike, bet. It has over 100 sleek and contemporary rooms with flash trimmings. Be aware that... the bathrooms are incorporated into the bedrooms themselves."

"This hotel is a stone's throw from the beach, and... it's designed in the art-deco style of the 1930s. ... The sea views from the higher floors are spectacular."
