We are repeat customers and we’ve always had a great experience here! Excellent customer service, beautiful facilities, and great food on-site with incredible scenery. Watching the sunrise through a sea view window is worth a visit by itself! The only critique I’d have is that the hot water doesn’t get very hot in the shower/bath, but you do have a kettle available if need be. Besides that, this is a hotel I’d recommend for a true luxury experience!

Had the Moroccan scrub and massage - felt wonderful but I was a little worried about all the water wasted. The room was also a bit cool - might have been nice for it to be lightly steamy (like a mild sauna).

Focus on the small details
Room was spacious and comfortable. However the lack of any water pressure or hot water was very annoying. Also, only one or two TV channels ever worked.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
It is an absolutely magical spot. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The inly slight criticism that I have is that the building itself is a little dated and there are always problems with TV signal. I would not mind if there was not TV in my room but as the rooms have a TV, my expectation is that is should work.

The property was very clean, the staff was very friendly and helpful concerning the property. It would have been nice if they had knowledge of museums and events in their area and cost of activities. It was very easy for them to call car service is for it and you can walk around the corner to a shopping center which had nice eateries and stores.
