"Friendly, kind and helpful staff. Breakfast buffet was sublime with high quality and range of items for all, including local specialties. The room was clean and well serviced. Ocean front hotel close to fabulous restaurants and bars. Immaculate gym and small swimming pool. Highly recommend for business and holiday stay."
"Overall, the hotel was excellent.
The outdoor garden was absolutely stunning — beautiful, peaceful, and perfectly maintained. Truly breathtaking.
What I liked less was that the rooms feel a bit old and outdated. Also, everything at the hotel is very, very expensive — even the bottle of water in the room is pricey. Nothing is complimentary or included.
Thank you."
