The location is great. The room and bathroom were large. It could use a refresh to return it to its prior grandeur. It was clearly once a grand hotel. The atrium would be a great place for bar service. It met our needs.

A lovely hotel. Breakfasts were excellent with a very extensive menu. The swimming pool was beautiful. We had a very large balcony overlooking the atrium. There were free water bottles daily and a good sized fridge. A very central location. We would definitely recommend this hotel.

Everything about the hotel was great. Only problem we had, it was too warm. Our room faced the central part and there was no flow of air. It wouldnt stop us going back but we would chose a room with a window that opened to the outside

Overwhelmed by this hotel and island. From the moment of check in by 2 lovely ladies we received an Atrium room which was an absolute delight. Newly refurbished rooms and a little balcony with chairs to sit out overlooking an indoor garden with lots of natural light. We don’t want to leave it’s been the best trip 🙏

Convenient stay on the island

Stayed in the older part of the hotel which was a little run down, but we had a spacious room, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good, lovely view from the restaurant. Great location and staff really helpful.

Property is not a 4 star property. It is tired looking and bedrooms need an update. Not impressed with the mould around the bath and definitely not for a 4 star hotel.
