My stay at Vivari Hotel And Spa By Mantis was a mix of beautiful surroundings and frustrating service. The hotel is stunning and provides a great escape from city life, but the service definitely needs improvement. On a couple of occasions, I found my room wasn’t cleaned until I asked, which was disappointing for a high-end place. The overall experience felt somewhat lacking although some aspects were quite good.

My stay at Vivari Hotel And Spa was a mixed bag. The spa facilities were great, and the food at Brambles was delicious, definitely a highlight.

I had a lovely short getaway at Vivari Hotel And Spa. the beautiful and modern hotel offered a tranquil escape from the bustling city. However, the service left a bit to be desired, especially considering it's a five-star hotel. I experienced delays in room cleaning and mixed service in the restaurant during my stay.
