The only thing was the tech which doesn't work and needs to be ditched. It's a gimmick which doesn't add to the experience- not pleasant having music in the room going on in the middle of the night having had no explanation of what to do to stop it. All in all though very much to be recommended. ##### Richard Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Michael Feb 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Most stupidly designed bedroom - dont stay The issue is with the room. It’s large - but effectively a huge bathroom with a bed in the middle - nothing separated Come in and there’s a bath on the left… then the bed then a small glass screen sticking out no more than 3/4 of the length of the bed and not up to the ceiling with a toilet on the other side. Then a basin then the shower. There is no seating (apart from a low stool opposite the toilet bizarrely) no desk no table. A toilet offering no privacy right next to the bed - nice for the partner remaining in bed whilst it’s in use. The front of the room is all glass lwith a walk way in front. Whilst the glsss is frosted it has clear glass edging and stripes allowing passers by to look in. There is a privacy blind which you can lower electronically but then you can’t access the door. The lighting is also weird. No switches just a remote - not ideal when there are two of you. Toilet area lights up when you walk in this lighting the whole room in the night. Absolute mental design and I would just say the owners should stay there a few nights. Shame as the other facilities and staff were lovely but anyone who thinks that room Is an appropriate design for a hotel needs to be in another business ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8FC5271CEC6F4E498C1E471C491CEE0A3390BB891739200820800.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Carolin Feb 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Das Personal war super freundlich. Insgesamt haben wir uns wohl gefühlt. Es gibt jedoch in keinem der zimmer ein bad/Klo das man abschließen kann, heißt es gibt keine Privatsphäre in den Zimmern. Die Innenstadt ist zu Fuß in 10 Minuten zu erreichen, wir haben uns auch sicher gefühlt, diese zu laufen. Pool area ist super schön mit dem Ausblick auf die Berge und Palmen ##### Carolin Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Vanessa Feb 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Der Außenbereich hat uns super gefallen. Die Zimmer waren innen teilweise zum Bad offen oder nur mit Glastür abgegrenzt, dadurch leider wenig Privatsphäre im Bad. Zum Frühstück gab es leider jeden Tag nur Joghurt mit etwas Granola und Früchten und eine Auswahl an Eiern (Spiegeleier, Rührei, Omlette). Leider sonst nichts, was uns etwas enttäuscht hat. Die Zimmer waren jedoch sauber und gemütlich. ##### Vanessa Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dario Jan 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Eine hervorragende Unterkunft , und sehr gutes Personal ##### Dario Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### R May 18, 2022 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great stay, staff were friendly.
