I had a somewhat mixed experience at the Grand Eliana Hotel. The location was fantastic, making it easy to access major attractions, and the heated indoor pool was a highlight. However, I did encounter a few issues, like the cleanliness of the carpets and the inconsistent room service. Overall, it had its charms, but there were definitely some areas that need improvement.
