“Lovely heritage house”

9.0

22 Dec 2024

Beautiful old heritage house. Note that this is not a luxury hotel, but it is authentic! The price reflects this, so I cannot understand why people complain. We had one of the cheapest rooms, with a huge bathroom and a lovely veranda. It was clean and the room was cleaned every day. There is a beautiful garden with lots of chipmunks, birds, cute monkeys (a kind I only saw there) and cats. The staff were really friendly and chatty. We ate one at the restaurant, and it was fine. We were the only guests having dinner, as there are so many other places in town. Breakfast was always tasty. It is a short walk to the street with many shops and restaurants, which leads to the beach. The pool was fantastic, clean and set in the beautiful garden.

My stay was absolutely wonderful! The facilities were clean, and well-maintained, providing everything I needed for a comfortable visit. There was plenty of parking available, which was very convenient. Pool facilities were good. The staff and the manger were incredibly helpful and attentive, making the experience even better. Booked with breakfast, it was delicious. I highly recommend this place and would love to stay here again!"
