We had a unique experience at the hotel and gardens. It almost feels like a time machine taking you to the 30-s. Every employee was old school attentive and perfectly trained to provide seamless service. The botanical garden and the jacuzzi are so very special. I don't know why they don't film movies at the place. It's just magical. We visited both restaurants and the bar and food was exceptional at every place. If you don't reserve the restaurants, don't worry you will get perfectly good options at the bar.

Beautiful hotel in beautiful gardens

This is a beautiful hotel - like a 1930s ocean liner berthed in the most glorious gardens. Although the large thermal pool was closed for maintenance the smaller ' jacuzzi's and indoor pool made up for this. The breakfasts were really excellent with the best selection of pastries i have ever come across. We also ate in the Gardeners bar which was very nice indeed. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful

This historical property is located in the Terra Nostra Garden Park. The garden is huge and delightful to explore. Even though the large thermal pool was closed due to renovation, we were able to enjoy the smaller thermal jacuzzis. We also enjoyed the dining room for breakfast and dinner.

Not our cup of Gorreana tea!

The hotel came highly rated and in some ways I can see why. The amenities are beautiful and very high end. However the hotel felt very stuffy, uptight and not as “comfortable” as we would have hoped. It may have been fine if we stayed there first on our trip but we stayed at an incredible property on the west side of the island first. We actually left Terra Nostra early and returned to the other one. Overall we just did not feel very welcomed at the property and it was just not warm.
