Nada, Apr 2025
Pros (+) This hotel is completely utterly exceptional. We arrived to our stay to find ourselves with a free room upgrade- and what a room it was! It was something out of a movie- private pool and outdoor showers, incredibly comfortable beds. The staff are all exceptionally kind and helpful- they cannot do more for you.

Hazel, Nov 2024
Pros (+) Stunning property
Cons (-) We were moved halfway through our stay, after full payment was taken to a lower grade property.
