Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a lovely experience with great views and afternoon tea but lacks proper cleanliness with hair on the beds and in the bathroom. The air conditioning is a plus, though.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were poorly cleaned with foreign hairs all over the beds and bathroom, the lovely balcony provided a great spot for afternoon tea or alcohol. The service was top-notch at all times. The location, right on the beach, was simply awesome, but unfortunately, the dining experience, particularly the risotto, was not up to par.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel, with its prime beachfront location and friendly service. However, the rooms were not properly cleaned, finding foreign hairs on the beds and in the bathroom was quite off-putting. Nonetheless, the hotel offers a nice balcony for a relaxing afternoon tea or drink.
The hotel offers a lovely balcony for pleasant afternoon tea or alcohol but is overall very poorly cleaned with foreign hairs all over the beds as well as the bathroom.
