Reviews and Ratings
Staying at our hotel was a delightful experience overall. The rooms were beautifully appointed with a personal touch, offering a cozy lounge area and a lovely terrace. Unfortunately, we did encounter a small issue with the broken item during the evening turn-down service, but it didn't mar our stay. The service was exceptional, from the attentive staff to the General Manager, ensuring our needs were always met. The location was simply paradise, nestled right on the breathtaking beach with lush gardens surrounding us. The dining experience surpassed our expectations, especially with the fresh and delicious breakfast options. While the facilities were top-notch, we found a minor inconvenience in one broken item in the room.
Staying at the hotel was an absolute delight! The rooms were perfectly designed and fully equipped to guarantee a home away from home experience. We could hear the ocean which was wonderful, and our super balcony overlooking the beach allowed us to watch fantastic sunsets every day. The traditional slat type windows did mean noise travels easily, though.
I was thrilled with my stay at the hotel, with a perfect beachfront location and beautiful garden views. The rooms, though needing a slight upgrade, offered a great terrace with luxury sun loungers for relaxation. The service was exceptional, with attentive staff going above and beyond to ensure guest satisfaction. The location was ideal, right in the heart of Holetown, offering easy access to shopping, quaint shops, and fantastic restaurant options. The dining experience was wonderful, with a variety of fresh fruits and juices, although the dinner options seemed a bit lacking. Overall, a superb stay with just a few minor areas that could be improved.
