Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's rooms could do with some sprucing up and were a bit noisy in the evenings, making it hard to sleep early. However, the service was exceptionally kind and gracious, albeit with uncomfortable chairs. The location is isolated but incredibly beautiful, perfect for a short break with various entertainment options. The dining experience offered high-quality food, including freshly cut fruit, but some items were served cold. The facilities were adequate, catering to different needs.
I just loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were absolutely luxurious, and the service was top-notch. The location was stunning, with so much to do on this beautiful island, although a bit remote. The dining could use some improvement, but the facilities were fantastic.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of great experiences. The location was fantastic, near the beach and with plenty to do around. The rooms were comfortable but the noise in the evenings affected my sleep. The service was outstanding with friendly and helpful staff. The dining experience was impressive, but some aspects could be improved. Overall, a good value for money choice.
