I had a mixed experience at this boutique hotel. The location is fantastic, close to shops and restaurants, and the rooms are spacious and charming, but the service left something to be desired. It was disappointing to feel like an inconvenience during my stay, especially when moving rooms for my additional night, and I was surprised to be charged for coffee and bottled water, which doesn't align with what I expect from a hotel of this caliber.

I had a wonderful stay at this boutique hotel! The service was exceptional, making me and my mother feel truly special. Access to the facilities at the nearby sister hotel was a huge plus, especially the stunning swimming pool and jacuzzi. However, while the room was spacious and comfortable, the Wi-Fi was a bit spotty for the first day and a half, which was slightly frustrating. Overall, it's a great place with so much to offer!
