The skyview lounge is separate to the exec lounge, but for the evening happy hour you have a choice of either. Skyview is a very impressive bar, it has less nibbles but is a lot nicer if having a few pre-dinner drinks and has very attentive service. (I even saw Stelios Haji-Ioannou the easyjet billionaire in Skyview on Monday)
The construction around the hotel is unbelievable, on the approach road it seemed like driving through a mile of construction sites. That said, when in and around the hotel, pool and beach I barely noticed any noise and no dustiness at all. I was lucky enough to be upgraded to a superb pool facing suite and was very impressed by the hotel overall.
