4 stars was applicable due only because of major construction work going on which spoilt the harbour view. Otherwise our stay was perfect. Beautiful hotel with excellent facilities and rooms.

We absolutely loved staying here. Arrived much earlier before our check in time. We were grateful our room was ready. Checking in and out was a breeze. Every one so friendly and accommodating. Our room was spectacular, inviting and very comfortable. The infinity pool was a bonus and the view in the evening overlooking the city while swimming was a step above. We would love to stay here again God willing. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
