Stepping into the hotel felt like wandering into a botanic oasis - the gardens were stunning, offering ultimate privacy for each room, and even the suites were equipped with a ceiling fan on the spacious patio, a touch of true luxury. The service, while at times a bit weary, shone through with a dedicated team who took pride in ensuring a memorable stay. The location was superb, just a stroll away from Holetown and the inviting Folkestone reef, perfect for a relaxing snorkel. Dining, though a tad pricey, delivered savory moments overlooking the Caribbean Sea. Facilities were top-notch, catering to every need with finesse.
