Perfect for me as I wanted to relax, enjoy the art, fort & walk the waterfront and beach. I’m fit- so walking the 6 flights of stairs to beautiful rooftop breakfast/bar and chase lounge views was perfect Those with knee/stair issues won’t be so pleased but there is also beautiful bar, restaurant pool table on main floor.

The staff (especially the kitchen staff) were amazing. Never seen such service and politeness anywhere else and i been all around the world. Very relaxing and peaceful atmosphere. Rooftop dining with the ocean all around is an experience in itself. The only negatives are only 1 channel on tv.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The hotel itself was very neat and clean and the staff was really nice. However I don't think this is a four star hotel as there weren't facilities which a four star room should have like a refrigerator and a electric water cooker. Also the breakfast was the same every day, it would have been nice if there were some variations. Lastly I wouldn't recommend coming to this hotel by car because parking is a bit hustle. As the hotel doesn't have its own parking spaces. Best is to take a taxi or the shuttle bus.
