10/10

The staff is first class. Everyone is at the same "nice" level. The room was a great size in every sense. Quiet, as well. The amenities were located well and I used the pool, gym, beach, restuarant, the bar (again the bar). As per the food served, the breakfast was filled with very good meats, cheeses, pastries, different omelettes, bread, yogurt, and much more. There is a lot more compliment the Imperiale Palace, so it goes without saying...I will be back!
