The Istana is in a fantastic location right on the cliff, offering stunning views that you won't forget. I found the room to be quite comfortable, though I was a bit disappointed with the lack of privacy due to the open layout. The spa facilities were impressive, making it a great spot for relaxation despite some service inconsistencies at the bar.

The location of The Istana was absolutely stunning, perched right on the cliff with amazing views.

The spa facilities were excellent, attracting many visitors, but as a hotel, it didn’t quite meet my expectations.
