Beautiful hotel, fantastic breakfasts, extremely friendly staff. I would recommend a room with the sea-view.

Can’t beat the location! We enjoyed the style and history, the great patio for breakfast. Staff was super helpful and kind.

Roxanne, Canada

Amazing location facing the beach and ocean. Beautiful old property. Awesome breakfast. Friendly staff. Spa was terrific and drinks were really good.

Nirav, Singapore

Location. Alhough the picture on line makes it look rather isolated and private , it is closely surrounded by commercial businesses, Although we had specifically requested a room in the main historic building at $800 a night, they initially tried to give us a room in a motel like separate building that wasn’t worth half the price. The wait staff in the restaurant was not very friendly. Felt that it was very overpriced.

Joseph, United States of America

the hotel was the old ambassadors home and the decorating was so cleverly done. the views from the room was amazing. great staff, so friendly. awesome spa. i would recommend it highly.

the only critic we have is the unpleasant smell of the toilet sometime. We understand it is the system and there is not much you can do.
the central position, the wonderful view of the terrace and the swimming pool, the spa, the kindness of all your personal and the allover service.

The room was clean when we came in but the cleaning on the second day wasn’t great. Because of going to the beach there was sand everywhere and the cleaning team didn’t vacuum. I wouldn’t have expected more for the price.
Location was great, staff was amazing, food was really good. The swimming pool is perfect to relax at the end of the day!
