Don't hesitate to stay here!
Professional staff make this beautiful property beyond special. The butlers were tops and thought of everything. Concierge arranged perfect tours for our 3-genation family. The best food and service was impeccable. Thanks to all.

I LOVE THIS HOTEL!!!!
We stayed five nights. This has been one of the best hotel experiences in recent times. The hotel was gorgeous. The Christmas decorations extravagant. The butler service was amazing. Very professional and ready to help. We enjoyed the room on the 6th floor with a lot of privacy and view of the sea. The room and bed and linens the best. The linens are very luxurious. I wish there was a Nespresso machine versus French Press. Toiletries so nice and pleasant fragrance. The common areas of the hotel are wonderful. The pool is nice, but can be crowded. The breakfast was pretty good but maybe did not match the rest of the hotel experience. Food was good but just not as impressive as the rest of the hotel.
