Since the last update was pre-Covid, I will add a few words about my recent stay last weekend.
The hotel was closed for a while due to Covid and then re-opened. They have a hygiene concept that includes contact tracing, hand sanitizer everywhere (including sanitizing tissue in the room), temperature checks when you enter the hotel, plexiglass protecting the check-in staff and masks required in all in all indoor public areas except when seated at a socially distanced table.
The breakfast was a la carte, with some limited items like cereals and fruit available from a small Buffett of sealed items. I thought the breakfast was great. Generally I wish more hotels would switch to a la carte. As a platinum I was able to order anything from the menu at no cost.
I had booked the basic room, but was upgraded to a sea view room with an expansive outdoor terrace. There was a bottle of wine and manager‘s note in the room as an extra amenity. Interestingly enough, I was never asked about my choice of amenities, nor was I told about my platinum benefits at the hotel.
The lounge was closed. I asked if it was closed because it was the weekend and was told it is „generally closed“. Not sure if it is due to the shoulder season or due to Covid. My guess would be Covid as the primary driver. Based upon the list for breakfast, I would estimate around only 20 rooms were occupied on the night I stayed.
The pool was open. I did not get to use it, but imagine it would have been relaxing given the low occupancy level at the hotel.
I then moved for two nights to the Westin. In the end both of these hotels are not very far between each other. I would recommend both of them
A la carte breakfast menu

Outdoor pool with bar
View of pool from bar
Expansive terrace with 2 tables for two persons and two sun loungers
The junior suite had two swiveling TVs
Living room from entry
There is a separate toilet (without a sink, which I thought was a design flaw).
Cosmetics Supplied in the main bathroom (which had separate shower and tub, double sinks, but no toilet)
