This is one of the best hotels that my husband and I have ever stayed in. The staff were so helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Check-in was easy and they were very helpful in helping us figure out excursions and restaurant recommendations. We stayed in the two bedroom hotel room with ocean views and a balcony. The rooms were nice and big with one large bedroom and one smaller bedroom that overlooked the ocean. The rooms were very clean and were cleaned everyday. We were able to prepare some meals in the hotel room as we had our own stove top and fridge. A nice grocery store was next door. You could buy food, alcohol plus prepared foods. This was a nice bonus. We did use the balcony a lot which was nice to just sit outside. When booking our room the breakfast was included. There was a buffet plus also you could order off a menu. We actually did both. Another great thing about this hotel is the location. It is in the old part of town but you can walk, bike, run on the walkway. Just so close to everything. There is nothing that I can say bad about this hotel. Check-out went smooth and they called for a taxi to come and pick us up. When we come back we will definitely stay at this hotel. Amazing staff

We had a junior suite which had a large balcony and a fantastic panaramic view of the harbour. On arrival we were welcomed and checked in speedily and found our room beautifully presented. Breakfast and eating area very good with lots of choices. Very central to all that happens in P D and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone.

Property was very clean, good location, attentive staff. We borrowed a towel for the hot springs and were told that it would be 2 euro, but were charged 6 when leaving. Apparently it was per day, even when not having it washed in between. The charge structure could have been clearer. Also, the breakfast could use improvement. The eggs (scrambled and omelet) aren’t seasoned at all. Even just some salt would help. The avocado toast was just bad. I wouldn’t even recognize it as avocado if I didn’t know already. Otherwise, everything was okay.
