I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is superb, just across from Payne's Bay with beautifully manicured gardens. The rooms were spacious and modern, making me feel really comfortable. The service was outstanding, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. The dining experience was delightful, especially the home-made bread. However, the Wi-Fi had to be paid for separately, which was a minor inconvenience.
