Perfect stay!
Great stay at Ardo, beautiful view from the ocean front room, spotlessly clean, great bathroom products. Rooftop infinity pool is Instagram worthy! Had dinner in Terrasu, which was excellent!

Luxury personified
Absolute perfection. Cannot fault this hotel. Yes, it’s expensive. But it’s also peak luxury. Would recommend time & time again. In-house dining options (Terasu & Marmor) are also 10/10. No reason to leave the hotel!
