While the staff are generally friendly, service inconsistencies can be a concern; however, the in-house Italian restaurant and Altitude bar do attempt to add some spark. Overall, a mixed experience, with potential that requires attention to detail.”

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.
