Definitely a lovely 4-star (with high quality bed linens, towels, robes, slippers, pristine throughout) and the pool is great - clean, calm and relaxing and thankfully no banging ‘pool’ music.
Staff were very helpful and friendly during our 4 night stay and despite there being no kettle in the room were happy to provide tea & coffee free of charge.
This hotel is definitely boutique, but doesn’t meet proper 5-star standards because there’s no room service & the bar isn’t actually open in the eves (asked for a G&T at 10.30pm - bar was in darkness, receptionist told me he didn’t do cocktails..!)
However, its location right by the seafront and the privacy of the private gated entrance make it a very tranquil place. We slept really well.
a/c needs attention- it works but is not reliably cool.
