In a residential area. Not at all up to standard of a boutique hotel. Room was very hot, air on was not working properly and was leaking water. Balcony had knee high weed growing between the tiles. Very over rated and expensive . Grass uncut and unkept. Not a nice stay at all. Not good value at all

Disappointing stay

My stay was disappointing and a let down. I arrived at 2pm (check -in as stated on the booking), my room was not ready until 2.45pm. My room was up a flight of stairs - with no handrail - wall on one side and glass panels on the other. My error was not requesting a ground floor unit as I currently require a walking stick for support. It was 33 degrees outside, the aircon in my room was old and could not cool the room down. The labels on many of the light switches are peeling off or non existent. One of the bedside lights had no light bulb, the other bedside light came off the wall in my hand. The TV remote did not work (I'm sure it needs new batteries), so I could not turn it off at night. The Bathmats were worn through. The face cloths & shower mat were wet when I arrived. There were only 2 - 3pin plugs in the room - no 2 pin nor USB ports. The basin taps are connected incorrectly - red =cold, blue = hot. The restaurant closes at 4.30pm - no food available after then. Breakfast served from 7.30am. Grass cutting outside the room starts around 6.30am (no sleeping in). Apparently the guest house is up for sale, therefore no maintenance being done. I completed the maintenance request form in my room (no pen supplied), but not convinced it will be completed.

We had a beautiful room with a private pool. It was very big and comfortable. The pool and spa area was lovely and the food was excellent. It is in a quiet part of town, easy drive to everything, but not walkable. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend.

worst honeymoon stay

This was our second night of honeymoon. We stayed at another 5 star hotel on our first night and there really is no comparison. There was no honeymoon feel. We had the worst experience staying at this hotel. It is definitely not 5 star as advertised. The hotel is understaffed. We had to carry our own luggage, yet other guests were offered this service. Took ages to get service at the bar. Wifi didn’t work in the rooms. Property not as good as the pictures. Very disappointed won’t recommend and won’t stay here again.

Not sure I would recommend it

Nice place but in need of serious refurbishment. The room is in need of serious repainting and replacement of curtains and upholster of lamps, bed and wall papaer. The place is more of a complex of flats reviewed as hotel but it has not a luxury feeling. The dining room feels as they just thrown chairs and tables and there is a lack of personality
