    Breakfast was the worst and really a let down. The only reason you didn’t get a 10/10 rating. I have attached pics below under room, bathroom and lobby. That overdone egg was meant to be an omelette, ciabatta burnt and inedible.

    Beautiful spacious suite in a beautiful decorated setting. Dinner at the private cellar was exceptional, clean plates all around. Spa treatments were top notch too.

    I think they don't allow outside food in the premises without permission but it doesn’t seem like much of a strict policy.

    I always enjoy my time at this property. It has everything from very friendly, thoughtful staff to a great service. I came with a Newborn and there was a cot, baby muslin towel & bedding fit for little royalty. For the adults, gowns & slippers to help us relax in our temporary home. Facility had an in-room fridge we could use for baby milk & a sink to sanize baby things and get coffee water from. TV swivels so you can watch from bed or mini loungette. Everything is available quickly on call. The breakfast is to die for. The property is beautiful & there's a mini cinema to wind down at and a spa. There's also a mini gym for fitness fanatics on the go and the art meets music aesthetic of the place makes the boutique hotel feel like an out of town remote spot that's still close to useful amenities and a stroll to the beach

    That I didn't stay longer. Loooove it 🥰 Adding an electric blanket would be great also but it's really a perfect place. I wish I'd stayed longer.

    Everything. It was perfect and I loved every moment of it. The staff was amazing and as a light sleeper, it was super quiet. Everything was perfect and birthday spoils were everything. I got a birthday card and a bottle of sparkling wine. I love it and love you guys too much. Can't wait to return 🥰

    My wife's main course dinner - she ordered fish, and it was full of bones, and the vegetables (Broccoli was overcooked - like it was brown, and the squash was undercooked - butternut/pumpkin should not be el-dente), we made mention to the waiter, who in turn notified the chef, and the chef didn't bother to come and talk to us. The starter portion calamari wasn't up to 5-star standard, but everything else we had was really nice.

    The room was larger than expected, which was nice; the bathroom was really nice, the lighting in the room was great, and the art and service were amazing. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The bed was comfortable and especially given that I'm a tall person and in most hotels, my feet hang off the end of the bed - the bed was wide and long enough that I could comfortably ly down on it without my feet dangling off.

    The hotel was just beautiful, amazing artwork and paintings. Awesome facilities. Very Clean. The staff were so friendly, from the time we arrived until we left, they went above and beyond, they made us feel like royalty. We really enjoyed the breakfast and supper, the chef really outdid themselves. The location was also great, we could walk to the beach and take a lovely stroll. There's also a mall close by (Boardwalk Mall), walkable distance. We felt very safe.

    Great amenities for a small property. Rooms are very spacious even though they are a bit dated. The art in the hotel makes it worth the stay - something really special if you like Art Deco.
