8.3

Very Good

From $152

5-Star HotelSummary of reviews related to the '5 Star' categoryLHP Hotel Santa Margherita Palace & SPA presents itself as a 5-star establishment, but the sentiments of guests reveal a disparity between expectations and reality. Reviewers consistently note that the hotel does not meet typical 5-star standards, characterizing it closer to a 4-star experience. Despite its positioning and pricing akin to luxury accommodations, several guests found the facilities and services lacking with some pointing out specific deficiencies such as the variety and quality of food. While customized omelettes received a mention, the overall dining experience fell short of what is expected from a top-tier hotel.

Many guests highlighted that the hotel's rates do not align with the quality of rooms and amenities offered. While the cost might be competitive compared to other 5-star hotels in the area, the value received did not justify the expense. The feedback consistently mentioned that improvements are needed across various aspects to truly align with a 5-star rating, from the service level to the quality of the care provided.

Moreover, the hotel's location next to a train track and general ambiance were also points of contention, as these elements did not contribute to the luxurious experience anticipated from a 5-star hotel. In conclusion, while the LHP Hotel Santa Margherita Palace & SPA aims for a high-tier status, guest reviews suggest it falls short of delivering a genuine 5-star experience, both in terms of facilities and value for money.

5-Star HotelSummary of reviews related to the '5 Star' categoryMiramare The Palace Resort has garnered mixed reviews regarding its five-star status, facilities and services. While some guests described their stay as a true five-star hotel experience and one deserving of the rating, many others disagreed, highlighting various shortcomings. Frequent criticisms pointed to the high cost of drinks and food with prices surpassing those at comparable five-star hotels in the Côte d'Azur.

Many guests felt the service fell short of five-star expectations with particular disappointment in the supposedly inattentive and untrained staff. The absence of a gym and restaurant also raised eyebrows, as these facilities are typically expected in such a rating. Additionally, the breakfast offerings did not meet five-star standards for some with a neighboring four-star hotel providing superior fare.

For guests who booked high-end accommodations, notably the presidential suite, the experience did not justify the steep additional charges with service and experience not aligning with five-star expectations. Despite the beautiful and scenic structure of the hotel, many felt it did not deliver the luxury or impeccable service that a five-star rating promises.

Overall, while some guests had a highly favorable experience, recommending the hotel without reservation, others found the service and amenities lacking, questioning the resort's five-star rating and expressing disappointment in various aspects of their stay.
