This is a real gem! Fantastic boutique hotel with beautiful rooms that roomy and quiet. All the amenities you could ever need. The breakfast was delicious with lots of options. You really need to stay more than one night to get to see what it has to offer.

The venue is lovely and staff are very attentive. The area is secure but as a European it’s always strange to see neighbouring buildings with high fences and bar windows. The beach is less than 5 minutes away, very nice strands there!

Great hotel but better service needed
crazy gorgeous rooms, fantastic art collection and a private movie theater which you can rent!!! My dream hotel! Connor in particular was fantastic and so helpful and professional.
Negative but was that when we checked out it was raining and we had to go across the street and get our heavy suitcases ourselves. We asked for help but the lady in reception said there was none. She also wanted us to leave the umbrella and walk to our car in the rain instead of someone accompanying us. Not a fun end.

Art Deco hotel, bit pricey, poor housekeeping
Very striking and stylish ArtDeco interiors in this hotel, but we didn’t enjoy ourselves as much as we expected. While the rooms are quite nice, the service was surprisingly poor. We were only staying one night, and after checking into the hotel in the afternoon we were disappointed to discover our bed had no linen on it. This didn’t get resolved until after 9 o’clock at night! We had an early flight the next day so it was pretty inconvenient having to wait for hours for housekeeping into the night. When the maids finally turned up they weren’t even apologetic and just sort of gossiped and giggled between themselves while they made up the bed. Thought it odd that a hotel like this one needed 7 hours or more to scrounge up a set of bedsheets for paying guests.

Short stay, but a sweet one!
Hotel wasn't busy at all when we stayed, it was only for one night but it is during their winter. Beautiful hotel, we treated ourselves to the presidential suite for our honeymoon but it was very well priced! Staff were great and so accommodating.

Excelente local. Vale a pena conhecer.
Excelente estabelecimento, um pouco supervalorizado mas muito bom. Quartos muito grandes, chuveiro excelente e cama muito boa. Digo um pouco supervalorizado pois pelo nicho em que eles estão querendo se inserir existem alguma falhas, havia um buraco na parede da entrada do banheiro, talvez por problemas de cupim, vimos mofo na porta dos armários e as lâmpadas ao lado da cama queimaram quando as desligamos. Porém nada que tenha atrapalhado nossa excelente estadia.
