Truly Relaxing Experience

“During my stay, I indulged in treatments at The Leonardo Spa. I was thoroughly impressed by the efficacy of the treatments, especially the body massage provided by Thandeka. She gave a real massage experience that eased my tension and left me feeling revitalized. The atmosphere, while simply styled, facilitated a sense of peace and well-being. Despite the spa's compact size, it had a cute ambiance, made me feel like I had the entire place to myself.” view full review

Delicious Breakfast Selections

“I had the pleasure of experiencing the Al La Carte breakfast during my visit. The food presentation was great, and the quality of each dish was evident in every bite. I appreciated the wide variety of options available for every palate and left each morning feeling satisfied and energized for the day ahead.” view full review

Excellent Room Decor

“I was blown away by the elegance of my room at The Leonardo. Equipped with luxurious marble tops and furniture, it was both stylish and functional. I particularly loved the thoughtful touches like international plug sockets and USB chargers built into the bedside table, made staying in touch with my devices easy. The room's attention to detail enhanced my overall comfort.” view full review

Really good Viewing Experience

“The living area of my apartment came equipped with a great media setup. The large tv made movie nights enjoyable, and the availability of a wide array of channels kept me entertained during downtime. I do wish there was a way to access popular streaming services directly, but overall, the media setup added to the luxury feel of my stay.” view full review
