Loved the Cleanliness and Friendliness of staff.
Our rooms unfortunately had no hot water due to a problem with our rooms geyser. We were allowed to check out at 12 so we could have a hot shower.
All was perfect - We enjoyed our stay.

Everything about the property is exceptional, neat and quiet.

Beautiful environment and friendly welcome

Good location,
Dirty floor behind lockers( dead flies), near sliding door and bathroom floor also. this hotel Could do with a little tlc, it looks like it’s not getting the attention required, it could be amazing as the decor is lovely, the kettle in the room didn’t work and wire was frayed which is dangerous. Beds were very comfy and price was good.
good view, beautiful suite

I really enjoyed the place , I liked the view and the cleanness. It was top tie ❤️🔥

The place, service from receptionist, Ohh dear Lord the place its so damn clean, all quality items, stamdard of the room,, , 🙌🏾❤️👌🏾. Most importantly for me was the smart TV, al channels are available, these mini boutique places give you old dstv cheap packages 😭. Im coming back here,,, 💯 Everything was perfect from day one.
We had a back room, but the doors to the ocean view in the lounge area were open and we could enjoy the ocean view! The room was lovely, the staff very friendly - we really enjoyed our stay.
Just keep it up!

The location. The room was presentable and cozy.
Netjes en de locatie. Op loopafstand van de restaurants.
De douche had erg weinig water en de kamers waren heel gehorig. Onze kamer lag naast het ontbijtgedeelte waardoor we letterlijk konden verstaan wat er besproken werd.
Sehr freundliches Personal
Sehr laut da die Türen nicht dicht sind und der Frühstücksraum neben dem Zimmer
Location
We loved everything about this place,the cleanliness of this place is 100/10.....the breakfast is on another level, the omelet oooh it was exceptional.....and the morning views of the beach and the dolphins I love it.
Nothing. I loved everything about this place
Very clean and felt luxurious at a decent price
It was all fine
Neat rooms
Too cold to swim in the pool..get a heated pool
We booked small room becouse we did not have money but they gave us normal room becouse the hotel was not fully booked, that was very kind, Thank you somuch Guys🙏
The temperatures were too low, we needed a blanket
Good location, reasonable room and service.
Cockroaches in the room, dated decor.
Kitchen starts from around 4am - unfortunately my room was next door.
The staff
The noise, the size of the room. I booked an executive suite and it was a shoebox. The pictures are taken in wide angle and therefore look bigger on the pics. The manager was very helpful and if it was not for her, we would have left. There was a very loud party at the pool on our arrival, music pumping and shouting. It was terrible and quite unacceptable for a 4star property which clearly states on the public balcony about noise pollution. Luckily the party ended at 5pm.
We only stayed 1 night but it was lovely

Location, Bed
Open shower, makes the floor wet and slippery.
The morning sunrise / beach view. Exceptional decor / interior design inside the room and bathroom.
Inside of the kettle was rusty. There's no door in the toilet and no door seperating the room and the bathroom. The charging point on the left side of the bed is to far. It's quite pricey for off season (winter).
Location was great with a sea view and close to shops and restaurants. Their order in possibilities are really nice through Mr Delivery
Next time I will book a room upstairs which has a balcony
I loved everything thing about😘 and the stuff was very welcoming especially the lady from admin , oh she cared for us. Oh sana this lady deserves a raise. Love love loved the view in the morning. I am definitely going back there.
It is a lovely place. Fantastic location, beautifully decorated, and a very comfortable bed. The staff were accommodating and friendly.
I could not regulate the shower temperature. The pressure was all over the place, so I had a choice of lava hot, or glacier cold.
The room was clean and tidy with an ensuite, and furnished with a comfortable bed. The pool area was spacious and the swimming pool was clean, we had lunch over the pool area. The Kitchen was also clean with accessible cutlery and dishes.
When I left the premises at 06:00, there was no receptionist to receive the keys.
Easy to find, beautiful view, clean and warm room, safe parking
We loved the fact that we were able to experience a breathtaking sunrise over the ocean.
Nice,but along the way the coffee machine/ cuppa Gino machine stopped working and it was coming cold. We love our cappacino hot.
The fact that when it says breakfast included,I thought it's already covered in the payment.

Beautiful sea view. Clean room with all the necessary equipment to make one comfortable and relaxed, for example, air-conditioned. Breakfast had options even beverages There was tranquility
Operation of the television
Lovely homely boutique hotel. Staff was amazing. Thank you Marochell & staff for all their help. We gave a conference there (thank you for hosting us) and everything went smoothly. Room with view had all necessary amenities. Bed wass comfy.

Awesome location right on the beachfront with lovely ocean views and a beautiful boardwalk to walk along the beach.The Hotel itself is stunningly decorated and in immaculate condition.The room was really exceptional and comfortable.Enjoyed a very lovely breakfast in the morning before departing.Thank you got an awesome, memorable stay.
Absolutely no complaints.
We only used the facility for sleeping.
The room was very appealing and neat.Bedding was very clean and we could also watch the television and the channels we wanted at any tie.
Yhoooooo I was so disappointed by the water,Inwashed with warm water from the kettle because I couldn’t access hot water from the shower at all.
Beautifully decorated. Great view. Close to all shops and restaurants. Great coffee. Didn't have breakfast so can't comment. Very comfortable bed and great bedding incl blockout blinds. Reception kindly did an upgrade because hotel had space which was much appreciated. Everything was new and sparkling. Safe Parking.
There's one flight of stairs-should stairs be your challenge. All Good.
The boutique is easily accessible, basically a walking distance to the mall and the beach and the highway in and out of PE. Less than 30min drive to the airport as well. The food is delicious and I would recommend it to individuals to couples, friends and including families. The staff members are friendly and available at anytime of the day or night.
The spa wasn't operational, if they may consider getting it u and running.
It was peaceful and enjoyable
They didn’t change our towels
The room atleast had air-conditioned with heat & little bit private & the stuff was friendly enjoyed sitting in the pool area nice.
It called hotel,automatically i expect an easily accessibility to the room but the is no elevator we had to carry our luggage using steps, no microwave in the room for later if u want to use, if only in their tea maker they include sachets of powder milk not all like fresh milk with tea or coffee, they could offer more in their menu. We couldn't make use of spa facility it was closed not operational. Hope it can be much better and reach a Hotel standard as they call it.
It’s peaceful and the food is really nice

Excellent location and very friendly staff.
Mooie ruime kamers op een leuke plek
Location
Only one remote for bedlamps to share between two people. The light from fridge shining in your eyes.
A otro es un buen hotel cómodo
The staff were helpful and friendly. The room was comfortable, clean and quite spacious.
Room well appointed. Room did not have a view, which under the circumstances a one night stay and it was cold and wet, it was not an issue.
Location. Kindness of staff…
Nothing!
Bom custo benefício.
Não ter elevador quando está com malas grandes é complicado, mas entendo que seria complicado tê-lo pois é um hotel com apenas 2 andares.
Friendly staff. Good service. Good breakfasts. Comfortable stay. Great location. Safe.
Need extractors in bathroom for steam. Unsure about free or charged items in meals in dining area.
A SMALL TABLE ON THE BALCONY WOULD BE LOVELY TO ENJOY MEALS & ENJOY THE VIEW
A SMALL TABLE ON THE BALCONY
Everything was amazing, all that I thought it was and more. It looks a little simplistic when you outside until you enter the yard and it is magnificent, close to the beach and the hostess was so lovely. absolutely a recommendation for anyone who wants to go to SummerStrands
Honestly I liked everything, I have no complaints
Was very good

Staff Interaction: Helpful, friendly staff who offer a warm welcome are a primary highlight.Comfortable Room Features: Soft, clean bedding, quiet surroundings, and high-quality toiletries contribute to a memorable stay.Atmosphere & Design: A unique, well-decorated space that feels safe and luxurious.Convenience
I have no complain.
Clean Friendly and supportive staff Beautiful area near the beach. Very well organized, quick check-in. Safe parking Safe areas altogether
Nothing at all
Beautiful modern finishes in very clean rooms and a nice view of the ocean. The room I was in had a spacious bathroom with a great shower. The staff are very friendly. There is secure parking on the property.
It’s next to a main road so the traffic is quite noisy and blocks out the ocean. The hotel is quiet but if someone is busy downstairs the noise can carry upstairs because it’s small. The room is also just a bit small and we struggled to move around with our luggage in the way
The staff care a lot and make one feel welcome
Nothing, everything was satisfactory
beautiful sea views. staff friendly and helpful. delicious breakfast.
coffee and tea was charged, not standard.
Ik verbleef hier één nacht met mijn gezin en voelde me hier niet heel prettig en op m’n gemak. Een wat afstandelijke ontvangst en verder contact. Ik zou deze locatie niet aanraden voor gezinnen.
Everything was good including facilities and staff food

The Std room is not great on the bottom level at back with no view. The staff moved us to a room at the top which had a beautiful view. Unfortunately it was a room where your private the bathroom was outside the room. Though well decorated, the rooms are small.
