Lovely location and sweet courtyard. Room was clean and comfortable though there was a leaking tub faucet. I was extremely disappointed with the level of noise that woke me up on vacation at 7:30am (or so)....lawn mowing or blowing, garbage pickup, etc. Is there no town noise ordinance near a luxury hotel?

Everything was spectacular. From the little gold key, to the complimentary valet parking, to the nespresso machine and sparkling water in the room, to the heated bathroom floor tiles, to the fluffy cloud bed, to the little windows that open letting the sea scented air inside, to the generous toiletries that left my hair soft AND clean feeling, to the room service and the little blue phone to call for anything you need, to the perfectly portioned daily breakfast so you leave neither famished or uncomfortably stuffed including a wellness shot and unique options such as chia seed pudding and mushroom toast (*which may not sound appealing, but trust me, try it.) To the gorgeous setting right in the thick of things. It was everything I hoped for and more.... the service and staff was five star.*****

This hotel is just lovely. Unfortunately, the walls, at least in the 2 story bungalow we were in, seemed very thin, and the people upstairs walking around, walking up the stairs (not even loudly, but you could hear every step echoing into our room, and listening to their TV kept us up until 1 am, and then we couldn't sleep until 3. I'm not usually going to complain about sound issues, but for a hotel of this caliber, it's not acceptable that I could literally hear what the TV actors were saying. For hours. So although the hotel itself is a dream, sleeping there, for us, was a nightmare, and we can't recommend it to others based on our experience.

Expected more

There was a long narrow flight of stairs to my nicely furnished room. My complaint is with the vanity area of the bathroom. It made it very difficult to get ready. A 5 star hotel with the cheapest hairdryer they could find? It was a $12.99 Conair (I checked Conair’s website). Besides that, it was hard to put makeup on as the lighting was dim and you couldn’t get close to the mirror. I’d suggest putting up a magnified, lighted swing arm mirror and invest in a better quality hairdryer.
