Hotel is love, clean ,however, location isn't practical for families unless driving. Food was poor in the bar gor example pizzas had no toppings especially margarita and was so heavy with sauce was inedible. The buffet breakfast was over priced poor selection( no white bread, for example when asked for some. ). Food was barely warm including hot water.reception staff were great

Everything about Hotel Realm was exceptional! The reception staff were friendly, welcoming, courteous, professional, and extremely helpful. The room was spacious, modern, clean and comfortable. Bathroom was very user friendly with excellent water pressure in the shower! The best equipped gym of any hotel i have ever stayed in with the bonus of a 25m lap pool, spa, sauna and steam room facilities attached. We had dinner at Ostani restaraunt/bar, which had a great atmosphere and fantastic staff. Good variety on the menu, well priced, and DELICIOUS!! (Moroccon Lamb backstrap was outstanding!!!!!!!) Breakfast from Maple & Clove was also super tasty, with a good selection of fresh juices and smooties to complement the meals. (Great coffee too)

I booked a one-bedroom apartment suite for a 4 night stay. The suite was spacious and had a lovely balcony to sit out on, a small kitchen with a decent sized fridge and everything you might need to be reasonably self-sufficient. The staff were extremely helpful at every turn. The bar downstairs has a nice, relaxed atmosphere. The only negative was the bathroom shower which was in urgent need of renewal. Definitely not up to 5* standard in its current state and not properly clean on arrival. All up, I would definitely stay here again, especially for a longer stay, as the apartment was spacious and comfortable. Hopefully the bathroom upgrades will be completed soon.
