Recent Epic Kimpton Review: "Myself and my boyfriend stayed at the Epic for two nights. After reading reviews we decided to spoil ourselves and go for the Club level, which was completely worth it. From the beginning we were treated like royalty, shown to our room personally, and introduced to our concierge for the duration of our stay. Our room was gorgeous, a fabulous big bathroom,  two sinks, and huge shower and bath. We were both very happy with the room, lovely touches from the list of items available in case you forgot them, (such as hair and make-up items, etc.) to the fold down service at night where they even closed the curtains and set the air conditioning. Lovely balcony also. One tiny tiny issue was the beds perhaps fell a little short of luxury of everything else. They were a little hard, and the dressing gowns were not very soft. But it is only because the rest of the hotel is such an incredible standard that I am even pointing this out! They were still comfortable. The club level food was lovely, 5 dining times a day. Just light food, but tasty. We also ate in the Area 31, where we tried the Chef's tasting menu which was a treat as it was very unsual food, paired with unusual sides and flavours, but it worked! We took full advantage of the free bar until 11pm in the club lounge. In particular, Lucia and Ruby were an absolute pleasure in the Club lounge. And the selection of drinks were excellent and they were far from meagre with the measures. The pool area is gorgeous, though it loses the sun in the afternoon. Service here was also impeccable, with chairs being set up and water brought and a nice touch of sunscreen available too. I would absolutely recommend this place. Every one of the staff were absolutely lovely, and made our stay a pleasure."
