Stayed during renovations so it was not quite the experience that we would have in the future. After renovations this place will be even better. looking forward to staying again.
Don't waste your money until the renovations are complete. Beautiful setting but food was lousy and overpriced, breakfast was the same 3 out of the 4 mornings we were there. The floor in the room was swept but never washed thus always gritty. VERY poor climate engineering, very musty rooms, furniture was sticky, old dust on the wicker chairs, towels and bed linens were damp feeling. This place should be closed during the construction. Getting free parking and free "hot" breakfast didn't work with us at all. Overpriced for what amenities are still available. Would love a big refund.
beautiful gardens and friendly staff. Our roomwas clean and modern.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff was very friendly. The service was excellent.
The constant work was an inconvenience which could not be helped, of course. Would like to have known of it ahead of time. No dining options only snacks.
Beautiful grounds and pool area was great. Landscaping and foliage were gorgeous. Bathroom (in our room) was a bit dated and showing its age. Very friendly staff.
The staff is great but they didn’t have wait staff for several of the meals. This aging hotel needs some
Renovations. The hot tub has no bubbles and the exterior needs a little paint but the pool and grounds are very nice. In our room
Half of outlets didn’t work, paint was peeling on the bathroom ceiling (probably because there is not no vent), the bathroom door did not work properly and the bath tub was not draining properly. The art work was odd. The prices charged are not in line with the condition of the room. The location can’t be beat by being on both the outstanding
beach and harbor. It’s also walking distance to many shops and restaurants.
This is such a beautiful spot. Loved that you have the beach on one side and the harbour on the other…you can swim at both! We would spend the mornings at the beach and evenings at the harbour to watch the sunset.
The Property is a bit older though, so requires a lot of upkeep…I would suggest maybe a dehumidifier in the lobby to get rid of that old damp smell.
The room was clean, but had some wear and tear despite being one of the renovated rooms, like the sliding door for the bathroom wasn’t sitting right on the tracks and the dual shower head didn’t really work properly. The room was beautiful though and the views are stunning on either side.
All the staff were so friendly too, we enjoyed our time here.
