The hotel is a masterclass in shabby chic - old world charm that’s perhaps a little frayed at the edges but wonderful staff and great service make up for all of that. Oceanside pool with a great poolside bar and restaurant, breakfast on the veranda - you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. Wonderful stay

Great room although we could hear voices in room next door, shower water not piping hot but great staff and awesome breakfast and dinner buffet. Good value for money.

Ac:n funkade inte riktigt, satte ned den till 16 grader för att kyla ner men det alldrig kallare än 23,5 grader vilket är rent för mycket för oss. En del av personalen i poolbaren verkade lite för mycket intresserade av sin telefon än att servera/serva kunderna, man var väldigt snabbt framme när det kom ett gäng snygga tjejer än när vi 50+ kom och ville beställa. Gillade inte att det var en saltvattenpool, känns lite ofräscht.

This is a beautiful historical hotel with charming colonial architecture that really gives the place a unique character. The buffet breakfast was also excellent, with a wide variety of options and good quality overall.
However, the biggest drawback was the condition of the room. It was not well maintained, with a strong humidity smell that could be quite uncomfortable—especially for anyone with allergies. There were also signs of wear and tear, including broken furniture in the bathroom, which was disappointing.
It’s worth noting that other parts of the hotel appeared to be in much better condition, so it seems like the section we were assigned to may not reflect the overall standard. With some refurbishment and better upkeep, this hotel could truly return to its former shine.

Breakfast was great with many choices. Hotel is in the good location with private beach however the hotel looks run down and require major renovation. Air condition in my room was poor and room was very warm.

Great location and nice to stay in such an historic hotel. The room was comfortable but lacked some of the modern amenities - although recently renovated. Only warm water at best in the shower. Breakfast was great as was the meal we had in the 1864 Restaurant. We would definitely stay there again as the overall experience outweighed the few negatives.

The room was clean and comfortable but there was some disturbance from wedding festivities in the central garden
The attitude of the staff is mixed, reception were very helpful but in the patio bar rather indifferent- there is a danger of complacency as this is the grand historic hotel that is booked because of what it is. rather than fighting to maintain standards competing with the newer large group hotels nearby

Clean rooms and super friendly staff! Food is good too, although I did not try all the restaurants. Breakfast is elaborate and had good options.
The hotel in itself is very old what is charming when well taken care off. but at times the oldest parts of the building could need a better upkeep.
All in all - this hotel is great and i had a good stay!
