8/10 Very Good
Dec 8, 2024
Not for everybody, but we would stay again
If you are looking for an ultimately predictable and in some ways rather bland experience like you would expect to get from Marriott or Hilton (not that I’m knocking these at all), then you probably won’t be choosing this hotel.
The hotel is maybe best compared to an affluent older lady with a glamorous past who enjoys the nice things in life. Based our my room and all the others I saw, the rooms are very generous, have wonderful balconies, have bathrooms with separated toilet/bath/shower, have dressing rooms, have beautiful artwork, have fridges, have classic grand furniture, have huge beds, have wonderful views out over the pool and out to sea. I’m sure there is lots more I have missed.
However, with this comes aspects that are no longer quite so fresh. It also doesn’t have quite the consistency of the big brands. For example, the drive has some lose stones, you need to ask if you want an iron and parts of the facade would benefit from some maintenance.
If you aren’t put off, you also get to see the owners beautiful and extensive artwork and sculptures.
Would I return… absolutely… 100%… the potential criticisms are easily offset by the benefits. Loved it.
Of all the criticisms that I read in advance, I do agree that the mattress is very firm… It isn’t like sleeping on a rock as someone suggested, but it’s definitely firm… but not a problem in my view
