Belatedly seconding the notion that both Hiltons are very nice properties. Haven't see the Starwood ones.

Reviewers who actually seem to have stayed there (and who have a record of posting reviews) tend to award three stars or less. Does anyone have anything good to say about the hotel?

Also, what's up with the mandatory 200euro per person New Year Gala? Can they really make you pay/attend? And if you've attended it in year's past -- is it worth the fuss?

Thanks, y'all,

Welcome to FT! You're indeed right to be suspicious about folks who post just one time at TA.

Sorry that I can't shed light on the hotels, except that these ridiculous New Year's charges are not uncommon in overseas resorts. The only way I know to get out of them is to simply stay someplace else for that night.
