    Rooms used modern decor. Very comfortable. Large accommodation with beautiful private outside balcony. Breakfast serves on the outside terrace was great. Pool Room was good. Pool was sublime.

    These is no 24/7 on-site security personnel. This is not necessary a problem as there is armed response that patrols the neighbourhood. It would feel safer though knowing someone is on the property at night. No breakfast buffet makes certain dietry requirements more complicated.

    Nice and quiet location with great view. Staff were very friendly and helpful and went out of their way to make my stay comfortable. I also like the fact that it feels private there. When arriving and leaving, one does not always need to interact with staff, unlike some other places. This is what I expect from a 5 star establishment. I recommend to book directly with them.

    The accommodation is a little far from the restaurant or popular spots, what makes it also a quite and safe area. A Uber will help out for the distance, or just order a Uber eats and open a wine from the honestly bar!

    Good service from the Manager Elijah, is prepared to help with everything what you need. Very good breakfast with beautiful view.

    The rate per night is obviously targetted at our international guests , as I feel it is overprised compairing it to similar places in the area The construction next door was a bit of a desturbance

    This place is absolutely beautiful , with stunning views .

    Cannot think of anything! Would love it to be a little more affordable so I could stay there more!

    Stunning decor, breathtaking pool and view. Elijah, the manager, could not be more courteous and helpful. Loved that there a gas bbq we could use - sometimes nice to cook your own meal when on holiday! The beds are super comfortable and huge. Lovely breakfast.

    Sudden visit of 2 kids, yelling, shouting, stamping. I noticed the staff moving matresses, so I saw it coming, still we were perplexed My husband was not yet halfway a massage when it abruptly came to and end due to the yelling. In our honest opinion this epic hotel is not a place for children. As they arrived 2h before we left, we were lucky compared to other couples. Only thing the ruined was a 60' massage.

    Everything 😁😁😁😁 Staff View Hygiene (first 2days) Tranquil, calm, peaceful, placid, and serene Breakfast Open fire place Honesty bar Safety Cars are parked closeby
