Exceptional
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Initially, I was unhappy with my stay due to my room being right above Lou Lou’s where a wedding was taking place. The walls and floor vibrated and rattled and the music was loud. I understand that this hotel is party hotel more than a relaxation hotel but the noise was too much especially being right above it. I told management and they moved me to a nice bungalow and made my stay complimentary which turned my negative experience into a positive one. Talk about customer satisfaction! I appreciate the accommodation.
Absolutely loved the boutique style hotel, the front desk staff was so sweet and they were awesome with accommodating us with a late check out while we finished some work. Would definitely recommend. :)
A very and unique stay. Felt like an all inclusive vibe, where you dont need to leave the premises. Beautiful and detailed decor. Food was amazing. Bars everywhere:) A fantastic stay
