we really, really liked this hotel - the setting was lovely, the terrace was inviting, excellent breakfast. the only caveat is the difficulty we had on arrival. we had read other reviews saying they arrived and couldn't get in, so my partner called in advance to make sure we weren't locked out. however.... when we (finally) found the hotel at 21.30, there were no lights on, no bell to ring, no way to get in! we had a mobile with no signal and were pretty tired after a long flight. in the end my partner scaled the wall and found the manager - certainly a unique experience in checking into a hotel. since this issue has been raised before, I am surprised that there is not a bell or intercom on the outside wall. once we were finally in, however, we found every thing about the hotel very pleasant.
If I were a cynic I might think that since we had prepaid, it didn't really matter to the owners whether we were able to get in or not.
