This is quite the place to visit and stay. This hotel was beautiful and the staff were very helpful, knowledgeable and professional. Definitely a 5-star hotel - without being over the top. The hotel was clean and comfortable and upon arrival, you immediately feel relaxed. It was seamless - from arriving at the hotel, to check in - being brought down to our room. We were in one of the Terrace Suites and it did not disappoint! We were wowed upon check in - 2 balconies and a living space and small details in the room that showed the attention to detail in the design (example - lantern provided to walk around at night or to light up your balcony). Everywhere you went, there was a view of the water. The pool and spa were great - highly recommend one of the outdoor baths! Our only complaint was that the food service staff was sub-par. We have dietary restrictions and the food service staff (we only dined at the Bar restaurant) did not seem to be trained to note this. We are allergic to eggs and dairy (it was noted when we booked dinner in the bar restaurant, verbally noted to the host and the server). Brown bread and butter were dropped off at our table (server said there was "probably" dairy in the brown bread). When I asked if dairy could be removed from some of the menu items, she did ask the chef and the kitchen could accommodate certain dishes. However, when dessert came, she handed us the menu and again seemed to forget that we had allergies to eggs and dairy (all desserts had dairy and/or eggs in them). She did ask the kitchen to see if they could had anything dairy and egg free after we reminded her. For a 5 star hotel, I would assume that the service standard flowed through to the bar restaurant. It happened again with breakfast (room service). We noted on the form that we had an egg and dairy allergy (no eggs), and both breakfasts' arrived with eggs.  When we called to have this corrected, the service staff came to take away the food, but never returned with the corrected breakfast. We didn't call to follow up/complain as we didn't want to make more of a fuss, so we left it.  This is the only reason why I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5. Everything else was beyond perfect.

My wife and booked a 3 night stay January 2025. The location is beautiful and staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was spacious but for a deluxe room, only one easy chair (fabric worn and wadding showing on armrest) and no room for a table. The food options are a limited bar menu or the restaurant.
Food quality in the bar was varied. One special per night and on our second night it was the same special, so that's NOT special. Special on night two was poorly cooked, I gave feedback to the waitress who was very understanding but the chef never appeared. This is not 5 star. Breakfast and spa were very nice. Tasting menu and wine pairing were most enjoyable but I have had as good for half the price. My opinion is that this hotel is trading on location and restaurant. Overall I would not rate more than 4 star. I will not be returning and based on their prices would not recommend

We stayed one night and it was fantastic. I got a wonderful massage in the spa from Natalia, then my husband and I lounged in the pool for a while.

We then went to dinner in the bar and had a delicious meal. Service was all around wonderful, everyone was very friendly and helpful.

Our room had gorgeous sea views and the bed was very comfortable. A wonderful bonus, they had extra pillows in the room in case you liked a more form pillow.

Breakfast the next day was also delicious. Warm welcome from staff, great food options.

Wish we could have stayed longer!

My husband and I stayed here for two nights during mid term. It had been on our list of places to go for a long time and considering its reputation and 5 star status, we had high expectations for luxury. We were underwhelmed. The hotel is quite small and there’s limited spaces to sit and enjoy a coffee and a book. There’s a bar and a lounge area, however there’s no comfy chairs/couches to relax. We had dinner the first night in the bar and when we were finished, it took 15 minutes for the staff to clean our dirty plates (a real pet peeve of mine). Certainly not 5* service. Theres no doubt that the views are spectacular and breakfast is a very pleasant experience but I’ve had similar experiences in top rooms in very nice 4* hotels. We had a bath in the spa overlooking the water and this was gorgeous. All in all, I wouldn’t be recommending this hotel as a 5 star experience and we won’t be returning.

We just had a fabulous stay in this hotel. From the minute we stepped inside the hotel we were made to feel so welcome. Attention to detail amongst the staff was exceptional. Service was quick, food orders came out very promptly. They park your car and bring your bags to the room. A nice touch! Grace and her team in the spa were great,  very welcoming and professional, fabulous facial and the outdoor jacuzzi is lovely at night time. Nice pool sauna and steam room also. Couldn’t fault a thing! Reception staff and door man very pleasant also. 5 out of 5! Highly recommend.
