Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was overall delightful. The rooms were spacious, well-equipped, and had mosquito nets, offering a comfortable retreat. The service was excellent, although a bit lacking in some amenities. The location on top of a beautiful hill provided stunning views, but it was a bit isolated from nearby attractions. The dining experience was pleasant but could benefit from more variety. The facilities were well-maintained and added to the enjoyment of my stay.
The hotel was quite big with its own private terrace, offering a large and comfortable room with a nice view, although lacking a balcony which was a bit disappointing. The stay was more than wonderful thanks to the spacious room.
The hotel sits atop a picturesque hill, offering stunning views and close proximity to various beaches. The rooms, though spacious and comfortable, lacked a balcony. The dining experience was pleasant but somewhat repetitive. Overall, a great choice for a peaceful getaway.
My stay at the hotel was lovely. The rooms were spacious, well-equipped, and came with mosquito nets, although our room was given to us a bit late. The private terrace was a nice touch, offering a comfortable and large space with a pleasant view, even though I missed having a balcony.
My stay at the hotel was more than wonderful. The spacious and nicely furnished rooms with a kitchen made my experience exceptional. However, the room was still 15 minutes late being given to us.
