Giovanni in particular was amazing making many restaurant and excursion recommendations that we loved. Hotel was clean and overall excellent. The one downside was in the pool area. Indoor pool with very limited sun loungers. Food at the main restaurant was excellent.

The location is near the ocean which is really nice.
Although the hotel was beautiful, the property is a little outdated and service was just OK.

Breakfast staff disappointing
It was a lovely hotel.
Breakfast was nice, except the plastic in the pineapple. The staff seemed to ignore this even when I spoke with the waitress and Manager. The waitress at breakfast came across very harsh, not very enjoyable at all. Seemed to wait a while for a pot of tea, when my husband ordered a latte and received 5 minutes before me hummm.
The Michelin star restaurant was super and the team really bought through this great experience, maybe something the breakfast team need to learn from.
