Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was nothing short of amazing. The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfy, with a balcony that offered stunning views of the lush gardens and the coastline. The service was top-notch, the staff was welcoming and friendly, going above and beyond to assist us. The location, despite some noise from passing trains, was perfect, with beautiful grounds and easy access to the beach. The dining experience was delightful, offering a variety of delicious options. The facilities were well-maintained and added to the overall enjoyment of my stay.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with friendly staff. The location is tranquil and relaxing, ideal for a peaceful retreat. However, the dining options may require more variety. Overall, a great value for a relaxing stay.
My stay at the hotel was lovely. The rustic style of the rooms was charming, and I especially enjoyed the open layout and the soothing smell of incense. The shower in my room needed some updating as it leaked and drained slowly, but the overall room size and views of the garden, pool, and coastline were fantastic.
I stayed at a hotel that offered small rooms opened onto the garden, but there are other rooms with lovely pavilions featuring magnificent artifacts and paintings. The hotel's huge room boasts views of the garden, pool, and coastline, which was stunning. The service was superb, with staff who were attentive, knowledgeable, and always spreading good vibes with a smile. The location, despite being in magnificent grounds with wonderful pavilions and art work, had a downside due to early morning train noises. Dining was delightful, and the hotel had high-quality products. Overall, it was a great stay with a few drawbacks.
