Beyond your City
great hotel with amazing staff! genuinely friendly and attentive staff—especially with our children. It's rare to find a luxury hotel that balances 5 star with such warmth and family-friendliness.
A special mention goes to the incredible staff member Bipana at the Italian restaurant Porto Gina whose kindness and attention to detail made every dinner extra special.
We felt relaxed, and genuinely cared for. Highly recommended for families with babies and toddlers who want five-star service without losing the human touch (and who want to feel safe thanks to the very attentive lifeguards).
Pat Wall
Excellent Service and great time by all. Great facilities pools, beech, hot tub, kids pools, food and drinks.
Special mention for Jonathan, the pool attendant, was fantastic during our visit. He was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience.
When my daughter stepped on a random earring, he responded immediately with first aid, making sure she was comfortable and cared for. His kindness and professionalism stood out, and we truly appreciated his help.
A big thank you to Jonathan—his outstanding service made our day even better!

I had a great experience at InterContinental Hotel for lunch. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. A special thanks to our all Bangladeshi waiter, who was very professional, friendly, and attentive. They made sure we had everything we needed.
The ambiance was elegant, and the staff was very welcoming. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, and I highly recommend it!

Honestly, a great hotel. It’s dated, being one of the first to be built. Yet it’s well located, has great service, beautiful views and great options for dining, facilities (heated pool, great gym) and even a barber. Lounge is excellent, has a small balcony and great food and drinks. Staff again is very welcoming and friendly. Overall I would definitely recommend.

Amazing Dining Experience!
I recently visited CHO GAO Marina Walk and was thoroughly impressed. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for both casual dining and special occasions.
The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Japanese food was a standout and is a must-try! The service was impeccable; the staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu.
The overall experience exceeded my expectations, and I can’t wait to come back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality food and excellent service!
Sabina’s attention to detail and genuine care for the guests stood out. She was attentive without being intrusive, offered great recommendations, and ensured everything was perfect throughout the meal. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated and passionate about their work.
Kudos to Sabina and the entire team for creating such a welcoming and enjoyable dining experience. I’ll definitely be back soon, and I’ll be looking forward to seeing Sabina again!
