Now that I've stayed in both Edition and Caresse in 2021...

Now that I have stayed in both properties last week, personally I would go back to Caresse. Is just a different crowd and is an individual preference.

Edition is more quiet, peaceful, relaxed, polished, etc.

But Caresse is more fun, lively, youngish, more alive..

Maybe it's the staffs that I have interacted with at Caresse.. They were so nice and welcoming, especially the front desk. The hotel was at least 90% full (a lot of rooms were booked out when I checked the day of and day/week prior). My SNA got declined but yet I got a 1 bedroom suite. Was proactively offered 4PM checkout. They as always, sent me goodies to my room. This time bottle of Rose and cake.

Also IME, service was quite fast actually. Breakfast was buffet style but asking for omelet, free cappuccino, juices was in fact faster at Caresse then in Edition. Dinner service was as fast.

True, Edition service is more polished but also more in your face style. Caresse is more you wave your hand if you need anything style (which I prefer).

For the views, definitely Caresse.

Maybe my expectations were super low because of the reviews by OMAAT, etc. But I could definitely say the service now is 100% much better and faster than when I started this masterthread when I stayed here in 2015.

Like I said, is different crowd. If you're looking for more quiet, relaxing scenery definitely Edition. But if youre more into the lively, club music, younger crowd atmosphere then Caresse is the place to be of the 2.

Our 1 bedroom sea view suite with 2 full baths.

Oh. Breakfast has sparkling wine. And food is 30% cheaper than Edition. Speedboat is now 400 euro for half day. When I was here 2015 it was 550 euro
