Home away from home

We loved our large balcony and the amazing guests only facilities, including a private deck, peaceful lounge area and availability of board games with full service from the restaurant, enabling us to have tranquility and enjoy the views. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and we felt welcome and safe as the guest area, access and bedrooms are secure.

Superb

Loved it and would come again.

Perfect location - Convenient to everything. The hotel is quite unique, small and intimate and very well set up with everything on your door step. The staff were exceptional - Allan and Dylan especially - with help and advice on what to see and do. Love the WhatsApp way of communicating with reception who were always very quick to reply.

It was a bit noisy in the mornings, but lovely and quiet otherwise and had no trouble sleeping. The cooking smell from the Nest restaurant was quite strong at times breakfast time

Pleasant

Outstanding service and kindness from the staff, particularly the manager. He always makes sure to support with everything you need and shares a lot or tips on the area. Very nice interiors and view on the laguna. Good bakery just next door.

The rooms face the main hall where the restaurant is located, which closes at 10Pm. A strong smell of food comes through when the kitchen is up and running. And the noise from the restaurant can be very loud in the evening ( music + chatter), so if you want to sleep early this makes it almost impossible ( unless youre unbothered by noise).

Two lovely nights at the Lofts. Our room overlooked the lagoon so the views were very special. We were warmly greeted by Allan who was always on hand to provide helpful information or just for a good natured chat. Highly recommended.

Very good

Friendly, nicely decorated small boutique hotel in a good location.

Booked a two bedroom loft room. Lovely, quant hotel with a small decked area with wonderful views onto the lagoon. Amazing welcome by the very friendly staff.

Only one of the bathrooms had a shower. Unfortunately our room was overlooking the inside courtyard area which was quite noisy and no view of the lagoon.
