My stay at this boutique hotel was quite enjoyable overall. The rooms were clean and neat, although I did notice a lack of air conditioning and a few technical issues. The service was welcoming, though I did encounter some wait times at reception. The location was impressively tranquil, with easy access to nearby shops, but there were a few concerns regarding the proximity to staff quarters. Despite these minor drawbacks, I found the value for money to be satisfactory.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was beautiful and tranquil, with easy access to shops, which I loved. However, the room I got was dark and unwelcoming, and the amenities were lacking for a boutique hotel. Service was professional but marred by noisy guests early in the morning. Dining was a letdown, but overall, there were some highlights that made my stay worthwhile.

Rooms
5.0
The room felt dark and depressing, with a misaligned toilet seat and missing features typical for a 3-star hotel. It was also much smaller than I anticipated, which was disappointing.

Facilities were basic and not what I would expect from a boutique hotel. There was a lack of well-thought-out amenities.

My stay at this boutique hotel was quite a mix. The location is really serene and beautifully kept, which I appreciated. The rooms, however, felt like they could use a little updating, and I had a couple of annoying disturbances from staff passing by my room at early hours. The dining experience started off well, but it didn't quite maintain that quality on the second day. Overall, it's a charming spot, but it has its quirks that may not suit everyone.

Rooms

The rooms were quite spacious but could seriously use a refresh. I found a few bugs falling from the grass roof, which wasn't ideal.

On arrival, the reception was rather slow, and I had to wait quite a while to be assisted. While the staff could be noisy at times, they were genuinely helpful when I needed them.

The location is stunning and tranquil, making it a peaceful retreat. However, it's a bit too close to the staff quarters, which can be a bit disruptive at odd hours.

The dining experience was great initially; I really enjoyed my meal. However, the second day's meal didn’t quite match up, which was a letdown.
Facilities

The hotel has decent amenities, but they didn't stand out as particularly luxurious or modern. I'm left wanting more variety in the offered services.

I enjoyed my stay at the hotel, as it was beautifully tranquil and well-maintained, making it a lovely spot to unwind. The services, especially during the wedding function, were exceptional, and the food was generally good, though I found the dinner on the second day to be mediocre. The only downside was the noise from staff outside my window, which disrupted the tranquility I was hoping for.

Rooms

The room was comfortable, but it lacked air conditioning or even a fan, and the noise from the staff right outside the window was a bit disruptive.

However, the dining options were underwhelming, and the lack of air conditioning in the room wasn't ideal. Overall, it's a cozy spot but could use some improvements in the dining department and comfort features.
