    The hotel is conveniently located in an embassy area and near shopping centers, providing easy access to various facilities. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and offer a great view of the sea. The bathroom facilities are top-notch, and the staff is friendly and helpful. The breakfast options are fantastic, with a diverse selection of healthy and indulgent choices. The gym facilities are well-maintained, and the pool area is spacious with plenty of shade.

    The pool could be cleaner, as it often collects leaves and dust.

    I really got my money's worth staying at Polana Serena. The room was fantastic, with a spacious and breathtakingly elegant bathroom. The location was convenient, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay.

    The only thing that could have made the breakfast menu even better was adding more vegetarian options.

    This hotel is a real hidden gem! The value for money is excellent, especially considering the stunning views from the rooms. I loved having my own private terrace on the edge of the garden - it was so peaceful and serene. The rooms themselves were spacious and comfortable, with a huge bathroom that had all the basic amenities I needed. And let's not forget about the breakfast - the food was of decent quality and really set me up for the day.

    All in all, my stay at this hotel was absolutely fine.
