Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
All the facilities we tried - the pool, breakfast, were great. The staff were great although, on occasions, a little difficult to understand. But this didn't detract from our visit. The only two small reservations we had were: - the size of the Executive room - Room 227 - which was a little small for moving around. However, your very helpful Neville showed us some alternative Executive Rooms that are larger and we will aim to have one of these on our next stay. - the evening menu in the restaurant appeared to us to be a little unimaginative. Otherwise a lovely though short stay on this occasion:o)

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The hotel & property was grand, serene, spotless and very well maintained. The staff were all so professional and helpful. The location was awesome and so close to everything! We thoroughly enjoyed the relax time by the infinity pool with an incredible view of the marina. The staff at the pool were so friendly and attentive. Wonderful dinner and service at the award winning Beef Bar too. We would definitely recommend this wonderful hotel!!

A beautiful hotel, built in the 1940s, in the great British colonial style, like the Raffles hotel in Singapore or the Victoria Falls Hotel in Zimbabwe. The interior is elegant. The service was remarkably warm, helpful and attentive. The overall experience was outstanding, even compared to other five star hotels.
