The breakfast was excellent. The view at the dining area was amazing. The grounds were well maintained. The hotel is under construction, and the accommodations are not quite up to par. The rooms are not complete and are poorly decorated. My overall experience was not the best.

I only stayed one night but great customer service. The receptionist was great. I had a problem with my room and was moved immediately. The rooms are very spacious and clean. Only reason I gave 4 stars is because there was no hot water. Not sure why and I was too exhausted to find out. It’s very close to the airport that’s why I stayed there. I will definitely stay there again if I have an early flight.

We travelled as two couples & were lucky enough to stay in the King Rooms, following an upgrade! Which we greatly appreciated. Our third time here and we never regret booking. The staff are amazing the rooms were spotless (albeit a few mosquitoes arrived, but were soon dealt with once reported). They are renovating parts of the property, but no noise or inconvenience. The management, with Katherine, executive Sous Chef, Yvonne (and others whose names we cannot remember), went out of their way to ensure our three nights stay was memorable. We enjoyed every moment and will surely return again. It’s within walking distance to a lovely beach, Gloria’s restaurants, Giddy house, with all of its history, was very informative. Also a wonderful cruise around the harbour, a definite must do! Do not hesitate to book this hotel. Highly recommended.
