This wonderfully comfortable hotel has significant repeat business,which is no surprise.Most of the returning guests request ,and are allocated the specific room of their choice by number.Such return business can bring difficulties of exclusion to new business - it is a matter of balance - both from the management viewpoint and the guests - not always uderstood.
The food service is of a value and innovative quality well beyond its pricing and many use half board terms as a result.

Wednesday and -Sunday barbecues are truly feasts of boundless satisfaction - both to the eye and the appetite.

It is very rare in these times to witness both the owner and the General Manager in daily attendance to the welfare of the guests...............it happens here!

The wine list,evening music,spa services,treatments,gymnasium,thalasso pool,accomodation and local interest potential are all of the highest quality - to be expected in an hotel of this excellence.Those who require closer access to the beach (5 walking minutes) probably chose the wrong hotel for their tastes.

Front of house is done very well and with great enthusiasm and energy - clearly mistaken for rudeness by some past reviewers.

The housekeeping functions appear to be divided into three seperate duty schedules - which gives rise to some inconsistencies due to lack of synchronisation..........can be improved although efficient in cleaning

The pool photograph on the web site is very misleading and can be off putting suggesting severe lack of space.Not so,the pool side is open,well managed and maintained throughout the day.

This hotel has an excellent location for golf and other good local and natural interests.

The guests are typically well mannered,mature people who clearly appreciate that the hotel provides a true paradise of peace,relaxation and island exploration.

There are many holidaymakers who would find such an environment not to their liking - some have reviewed earlier.

This hotel is based on "old money"investment from a very long time ago and one would expect some traditions of courtesy and service to be sustained.....and they are!

This has to be one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. The reception staff went out of their way to be friendly and welcoming. The setting is very peaceful and attention to detail is evident. The decor of the room was Spanish colonial style and very comfortable and clean. The breakfast buffet was amazing with a varied choice of food. The grounds and swimming pool area are well manicured with an abundance of bougainvillaea and palm trees. Superb dinner menus. We stayed there over the Christmas period and an extensive Christmas programme had been organised. An excellent venue if you're seeking peace and quiet.

This is an expensive and well maintained hotel. The location isn't great as there are no sea views and a five minute walk to the beach. Over in the large srea of and dunes you can expect to find a large number of gay nude men. Staff at the hotel lack the confidence that you expect to find at a 5 star facility. Finally, most of the guests are likely to be German and many of them will be over 70.

I have to agree with previous travel reports, a really really nice hotel, great location (quiet), good food and style....the staff have been great, except the fact that sunloungers have been reserved in the early morning hours (and partly by staff who have cashed a good tip for doing so) and the rudeness of the Reception Manager Mrs. Leibermann. All other staff (starting from the porter, reception etc. to the maids) have been superb.
We would possibly go back, but next time during low season.
