We stayed in the whale suite which had amazing views of ocean and cliff sides. We saw a pod of dolphins before dinner. Dinner was made there by an excellent chef. Highly recommend staying here. ##### Lee Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Frieda Jan 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay. Everything was great. The food was really fantastic. The viewpoint room is advertised on Hotels.com as having a king sized bed. The bed in that room is not a king size but much smaller. We were moved to another room with a less spectacular view but we still had a great time. ##### Frieda Stayed 1 night in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bjarne Jan 11, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Venue worth to visit Great to be back at the beautiful venue after 6 years. However the venue needs to maintain an ever doing upgrade and maintenance aa the location and rooms - which will be torn and worn after the years. Another issue - it suits better to have fresh flowers in the restaurant - than wethered leaves and flowers, as the hotel is a 5 star boutique hotel.. ##### Bjarne Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tamara Dec 1, 2025 Nur die Aussicht ist 5 Sterne. Das Zimmer wirkte schon teils sehr abgenutzt. ##### Tamara Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Frank-Oliver Mar 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Das Hotel ist sehr gut gelegen und einen traumhaften Blick auf die Hafenausfahrt. Wir haben viel auf dem Balkon verbracht, um diese Aussicht zu genießen. Sehr gutes Essen, man darf bestellen, was einen anmacht und sehr freundliches Personal. Besser geht es nicht, wir kommen in jedem Fall wieder. ##### Frank-Oliver Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthias Apr 19, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wir waren im Zimmer mit Aussicht - super Terrasse mit super Ausblick- bestest Zimmer um morgens, Abends und auch tagsüber die Sonne zu genießen. In der Dusche wäre es sicher nötig das Silikon regelmäßig auszutauschen und somit gegen die Schimmelanfälligkeit durch die feuchte Luft zu verbessern. ##### Matthias Stayed 1 night in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rhoma Mar 8, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### EXCELLEN This is the most beautiful hotel , stunning view , friendly staff , good food who got a complimentary upgrade , will stay at Head of Heals again and again , Thank you ##### Rhoma Stayed 1 night in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mzamo Dec 19, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Perfect getaway, amazing views and the staff is just tooo amazing. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0F7DBAEC571ACF56EFC5897ABE065C4963FF80151576774886888.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/096F48B7BC4BD837A5A3057803434F65AABB1B291576774883133.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6FEA547F67ADF14E3F9575101863C13A0032912F1576774900696.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/89314A8B97676E3042AA94AE3DD2012F6E2C98A71576774897283.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Mzamo Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Oct 28, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great hotel with a spectacular view.
