“Review for "King room with garden view" and "The barrel house"”
This is a review for "King room with garden view" and "The barrel house". We initially booked the king room for the balcony, as we prefer to spend most of our time outside. These rooms however do not have balconies.What you see in the pictures is the hallway that runs along the front of the rooms. This gives you no privacy and makes sitting outside a little awkward and uncomfortable. In my opinion this should not be sold as a balcony. The room is dark with 1 window leading to the same hallway, so opening the curtains or the window gives anyone an option to look inside. The room has coffee, tea, watera great shower and a musty smell, which makes it largely overpriced. We decided to upgrade to the barrel house for an additional 60 usd per night and this is very much worth it!! The barrel house has an ocean front private patio with a table, chairs, umbrella and a spectacular ocean view. The ocean front part of the patio is shared with the barrel house restaurant, but they open from 11 am to 9 pm and the patio is large enough to not be in each other's way. Besides this the restaurant does great food. The inside of the house is spacious. It comes with coffee, tea, water and a nice shower. The bed room is upstairs with the kitchen and living room downstairs. The barrel house was definitely worth the extra investment, which made the King room feel even more overpriced. Both rooms include breakfast which you can pick from a menu with plenty to choose from and you have it by the ocean. All things considered; if you're staying here and have the extra money, stay in the barrel house.

“gorgeous hotel, wait after the renovations are done to benefit of its full charm”
the reception part of the hotel is under renovation (not mentioned when booking) makes it loose a big part of the charm of this gorgeous colonial building. Our room was dark and below the expectations we had for the price paid. The staff was nice though slow (apart from management) Location is unique, we highly recommend the diving club and its little beach (the only one close to the hotel), the boutique is very interesting and the rosé is just perfect, as well as the friendly staff !!!

“Rustic and historic”
Room had a double balcony right over the ocean. Fell asleep to the sound of the waves. We had the large two room suite, so very comfortable.

“A large room with good airconditioning with two terraces (woceanview and by the little swimmingpool)”
Good breakfast with a lot of egg-possibilities. They washed our laundry for a small fee. One of the servants arranged a scooter for us. The location is perfect, snorkelspot directly on the other site of the (quiet road).

“Relaxing and enjoyable but photo's of property do not match the fact that everything is tired.”
Very laid back experience. Not much to do on the island but that's what we wanted. Very helpful staff who made the place.

“Good location but overpriced”
Location is good beside the sea and not too far from the ferry terminal, while still being far enough away not to see it. The cats that hang around are cute, particularly one which had a tail like a squirrel and which we called Ginger. The room was clean and the staff generally were great. The nearby associated restaurant was great both for breakfast and dinner (note the rating score is for the accommodation and not the restaurant)

“Quite enjoyable.”
The location was perfect as we could walk from the port having arrived on the 20:15 ferry and didn't have a car. The hotel occupies a stunning spot overlooking the sea with sun loungers on a sandy area, comfortable couches to enjoy sundown and a good restaurant. The staff were very pleasant and helpful.
