"Fantastic place!"

9.0

The staff were all excellent - very friendly, courteous and helpful. Spacious, comfortable rooms. Beach access. The rooms and hotel including the grounds were kept very clean. Good breakfast. Daily replenisment of bottled water in the room was much appreciated, and the fresh milk for tea/coffee was a welcome bonus!

Nothing!

"Stunning views, kind staff, great food and drinks."

9.0

Beautiful beachfront property, kind staff, a very cool old world bar with great food and drinks, a yummy gelato shop, and a delicious lobster dinner.

There’s not much to dislike…perhaps the pillows and robes could be a bit nicer. The reservation staff did tell me the hotel was booked when the site showed availability, which was a bit odd.

Location, layout and facilities

The atmosphere was a little flat because it was so quiet but other similar reports were busy and livelier. The food could have been better. One evening there was only curries on offer.
