This is a real gem! Fantastic boutique hotel with beautiful rooms that roomy and quiet. All the amenities you could ever need. The breakfast was delicious with lots of options. You really need to stay more than one night to get to see what it has to offer.

The hotel was in a good location handy for shops, restaurants and the beach front. I felt safe in the area. My only dislike was breakfast which was a bit of a free for all. Tables not tidy and having to clean the table myself.
