Lovely rooms however the palm trees need trimming due to hitting our hire car on the sides.
And the cobblestone pathway does not feel secure to walk on for an elderly person .
These could all be rectified easily making me leave a 5 star rating .
We will definitely return .
Great location

We had 2 rooms, a deluxe king and a family room.
Both were excellent. Beautiful views from the balcony of the king room.
The pool looked very inviting. Sadly we didnt have long enough to use it.
Had a meal in the restaurant downstairs which was excellent.
Highly recommended

Given that it was pouring rain & very windy for three-quarters of the time we stayed, the staff did very well to keep the hotel running as smoothly as they did.
Thank to the cleaners & all the staff.
