It has remained one of my favourite hotels in the world. The service is always impeccable, the food delicious, and the views spectacular. It is very convenient and walkable to many different shopping centers, restaurants, and interesting sites. I highly recommend it. ![The bar](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5372fca5-7520-469f-ba9d-9028fbed7594-1765170091951.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Beautiful staircase](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/766441e1-903e-4540-b68c-6b463cc7dee4-1765170092695.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Fantastic corridors ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1d753b01-6e04-4ad3-80b4-5e13a53a55f3-1765170092717.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Salt water pool](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/15359b47-131f-49b5-917f-37743abd0b8e-1765170092837.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Peter Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### M Oct 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Luxurious hotel with charm & character & Amazing sea views.

Very nice room with direct ocean facing window. Can open windows and stay off-aircon with fan. Nice small private beach and seawater pool to swim. Unfortunately the LED lighting in the rooms has flicker/strobe effects (reason is the cheapo ac/dc converters built into asian consumer grade lights), this has a subtile stress effect. ##### Raimar Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ROBERT Apr 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay Great place and location.
