Wonderful stay with amazing hospitality I had a really great stay at this hotel. The whole property is beautiful, with a lovely garden and a very nice pool area that makes it easy to relax. The staff were all extremely friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even more special. The highlight of my stay was that I received a complimentary room upgrade because a better room was available for the night – such a kind gesture and very much appreciated! Breakfast was also excellent, with a good variety and everything very tasty. I would definitely recommend this place and would happily stay here again.

“Beautiful”
the place is so beautiful, lot's of greenery, the pool,...it's so clean and well maintained. Room was good, we had small kitchen also in it. Bathroom was good, I only missed having a rack to put the towel on it. Main road is walking distance and there you can find restaurants, groceries, bus stop, etc. you can also walk to the beach, there is a very long stretch of the beach...big waves, but nice to play in the shallow water where the waves break..our kid loved that...and the sand. Also the train stop is very near if you wish to catch the train.

“Lovely pool in a garden setting with great staff but accomodation needs some upgrades to make it more in line with the p”
Rooms are set in a lovely rambling garden with old home and fabulous pool. Staff were great; very helpful and genuinely friendly. We loved the location- 15 minutes walk to beach and some great restaurants close by. The property is very secure and quiet and they offer free tuk tuk as needed to anywhere close.

We had a pool view room which was big and spacious seperate living area bedroom and little kitchen area with a fridge for beers and watermelon! The pool is spectacular at night and the chorus of frogs is amazing. The beach is a few minutes walk down a lane past several little restaurants. We were served a beautiful breakfast on the patio in the morning. A great stay!
