“Only just OK”

- • King Room with View

AC master control was centralized and turned off during the day making staying in the room extremely uncomfortable, even between breakfast and check-out at 11AM.
Interesting location, large room, helpful staff.

The only kind of negative thing is, that since the property is located at the edge of stone town, the streets are a bit noisy, and the filtered in to our room. We took care of it, by turning on the overhead fan to 50%, which generated a constant hum, that was easy to sleep to, even early in the evening, when people were moving around on the streets. Being this close to stown town center and beach was totally worth it though :)
The staff alone would worth 10* score, they went out of their way to cater to every whim of ours, helped with parking, shopping, gave us advice on where to go and what to see. Also everyone was all-around deligthful, very nice people. The place and the owner were very accomodating, and these things made our stay a very good experience.
