This hotel is a beautiful property. The lobby was 5 Star with beautiful original paintings. The outdoor pool and hot tub provided a great view of the harbor. Unfortunately, the pool area closed at 6:00 pm. I was very disappointed after returning from a long day of walking and was looking forward to a soak befor dinner.

Fantastic hotel, service top notch. Breakfast buffet included very good. Only 2 negatives, too many Americans (including ourselves) and the driveway up to the hotel is very steep and if you wish to walk to town it’s a good climb (easy once at bottom of property. They should golf cart guests up and down but most will just taxi

8/10 Very good

The reason I gave the hotel 4 stars is because on more than one occasion our bath towels were stained. That should not be an issue at a 5 star hotel. The service was excellent as well as the staff. If I could do 41/2 stars I would.
