My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed experience. The rooms were not ready for the stated 2 PM check-in time, which was disappointing. However, the room itself was neat and elegant, offering a beautiful sea view. On the downside, the room was way too small and did not feel like value for money.

The hotel offers a mixed experience with spacious rooms but lacking in maintenance and lighting issues. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, although some reservations about handling guests' belongings. The location is serene and private, yet marred by cleanliness concerns and unwanted insect guests. The dining experience is hit-or-miss, with some tasty dishes but also notably dry pancakes. Overall, the facilities could be improved with better upkeep.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although cozy and romantic, had a stream of toilet water flowing through, bubbling out via the loo, directly above a chimney. Despite this, the rooms were clean, the bed was comfortable, and the staff provided excellent service. The service was very good overall, but some unfriendliness was noted, and breakfast was disappointing for a five-star establishment. The location, though private and secluded, was perfect for relaxation; however, there were issues with the dining options needing more variety. The facilities were well-maintained, but certain details needed attention.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were luxurious and beautifully appointed with great attention to detail, and being right next to the pool was a lovely touch. The hotel offers Garden chairs outside the rooms, which added to the charm. The only downside was that it was a bit far when it was raining, but overall, a fantastic experience.

I stayed at the hotel for a weekend getaway and overall had a pleasant experience. The rooms, although with a balcony and a promising view included in the package, felt a bit musky even with the air-conditioning on; however, the check-in was delayed past the specified time. On the bright side, the service was impeccable, with courteous and friendly staff that were incredibly helpful throughout my stay.
