Not impressed. Upmarket Premier Inn

We had no privacy to sit on our balcony as it was right beside the pavement at ground level, with the public and tour groups being guided around. There was no atmosphere at the hotel and the lounge area was always empty due to the bedrooms being in a separate building and visitors were not mingling. The kitchen Staff and waiters were great and always willing to help.

So grateful for my stay here. I was flying in before check-in time and they accommodated me and gave me my room early. It was so clean and pretty. I recommend getting a room with a view! It’s so worth it. The breakfast was delicious! And so was their dinner menu. The staff so so sweet! They gave us a welcome beverage which was so delicious. Honestly just obsessed with this property. Definitely coming back.

Beautiful bay hotel

The hotel sits on a lovely bay, walkable to restaurants and bars and a market and souvenir shopping. The room was nice but the ac unit was a little weak. It finally did cool down and it was pleasant. The breakfast was amazing. Great variety and quality. Stayed for 5 nights. Streets are decorated which is fun. Lots of tourist coming during the day and for dinner. Ate twice and Tobos
