a blissful escape..

fine views complimentary scones mountain pools
the views were amazing. i could not resist just sitting on the lawn to admire. the complimentary scones with tea and coffee each afternoon felt so cute. i loved the unexpected waterfall and mountain pools on the hotel grounds, nature was pure joy!!!
the breakfast menu stated that only two drinks were included, that was juice and a hot drink. i found this surprising for a hotel of this kind of standard. a coffee refill had an extra charge.

The hotel is close to the beach and provides beautiful gardens. the main building retains lots of character thanks to its age. the location is ideal for a romantic getaway. A gem.

amazing stay!

lush gardens nature pool hanging bridge fine details
i loved the lush gardens! they have little hidden spots like a nature pool and a hanging bridge. the padel court looked fun too. my room was beautiful, it had very fine details. the location was fantastic. walking through the gardens, i found something new around every corner.
The restaurant was just okay. It was pretty limited. they do have newer buildings with villa-style rooms, but the soundproofing is not good. i could hear everything from the neighbours, not ideal
