Excellent service, food and location. The breakfast was the best I have had in any hotel. The hotel was very stylish and looked well maintained. The beach is just across the road from the property and there are lots of small bars and restaurants along the sea front. Perfect winter stay as there are few people around but everything is open.

Not a 5 star hotel!!! Spa area is in basement and very cramped. Pool area and bedroom/bathrooms that have all marble floors are a big danger, you need to constantly be careful not to slip . Patrons were permitted to use phones in dining room which made it unpleasant. Location across from the ocean is beautiful for walks but quite far from city. On a positive note the food at Fleur de Lis is terrific.

Michelin One star was horrible. Chef tried too hard with bad ingredients. Took 25 minutes to get a cocktail and 3.5 Hours for a poor dinner. Hotel misrepresents its self on the website as staying in an old mansion when the rooms are actually in an ugly concrete structure beside it.
