The room was modern, well sized and the bed was super comfy after a long day travelling/working. I dined at Terasu which was fantastic! Highly recommend the Kingfish Cervice! I also went to the rooftop bar and although the weather was overcast and incredibly windy, the view was fantastic. I would love to come back and enjoy this bar on a day when the sun is shining and it's not blowing a gale!

Disliked: Staff & service
The staff training was poor. The front desk was friendly but needed to check the manager for each request, making it slow. I rang guest services on 9, and it was not answered. There was no ringback. I tried several times, and the call went unanswered each time. I left it open to the bank music for a long time, and it was unanswered. At check-out time, the staff knocked on the door. I opened the door to house cleaning, still within check out times. The coffee-making facility was unusual, with a fiddly packet filter style. The capsules are easier, particularly in the early morning.

We had a good week at Ardo. Stating for a week it was tedious having to ask for our room to be made up every day. Critisms - rooms very small for a ‘5’ star hotel. We never got tea and milk replenished. Luxury escapes was a good deal. The additional 4 nights I paid for my daughter - expensive for a view of the carpark!

An exceptional property that truly makes the most of it's stunning waterfront location. Beautifully designed for comfort and relaxation, with world-class views whether from the rooftop bar and pool, or our comfy king-size bed. Great value for money too, especially with full access to the pool and restaurants of Ardo's sister property, The Ville Resort Casino next door.
