The hotel has a lovely period charm with comfortable rooms in need of a slight refreshment. The service is excellent, especially for families, and the location is superb with stunning sea views. The dining experience offers good variety but under challenging conditions.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were ready ahead of schedule, allowing us to start our exploration quickly; however, they were in need of some serious 'refreshment'. The service was excellent, with the staff being helpful and friendly. The location was incredible, offering stunning views and quiet surroundings despite some ongoing developments nearby. The dining experience was pleasant, with a good variety of fresh and healthy choices. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with great views over the gardens, pool, and sea, although a serious refreshment is needed. The shower is excellent, but the furniture looks a bit tired. The service throughout the indoor and outdoor dining areas was very nice and helpful, even accommodating special requests like omelets. The location is lovely with plenty of shade and within walking distance to the town center. The dining experience provided a good variety of choices, including a delicious fresh fruit salad. The facilities are satisfying, though some areas could use a modern touch.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of comfort and noise. The rooms had a nice colonial style with a balcony overlooking a garden planted with bougainvillea, perfect for enjoying a sunset or a cup of tea. However, the proximity to Jo's bar made Friday night noisy.

The hotel's location, just a 10-minute walk from the town center and the seafront with numerous dining options, was convenient. However, it lacked evening life and could benefit from background music and a drinks service.
