Upon first entering through the Romanesque cobblestoned entrance you can’t help but think you are stepping back in time.

Entering the hotel is another story…

Gaudy to say the least, it represents ‘over the top’ at its best from branded everything to cabana-style poolside lounges (which I admit are quite nice).

We take a look at the Versace shop an are told everything is 50% off the marked price but even at the discounted price unaffordable.

Luckily, we are staying at the Hilton!
