“So relaxing”
Absolutely fabulous hotel !
“Altogether a great experience, but first appearances can be deceptive . . .”
When we arrived at the hotel we were not terribly impressed. The hotel is on a rather small plot and hides behind high walls. The rooms are a little shabby chic. There is no proper lounge area, just a couple of big white sofas around a large coffee table. It took us a little moment to stomach all this, but as soon as you have settled in you see how it all works. The ambassadors are fantastic, suggesting anything from destinations for sightseeing trips, restaurants for dinner and transport etc. All their restaurant suggestions were great and they always managed to get us waterside tables. We had an absolutely fantastic time at The House, being very lazy and pampered. There are only couples at the hotel as children under 17 are not allowed, hence a lot of peace and quiet. Daphne, the restaurant next door was great too, as was the complimentary massage in our room. As soon as you showed up downstairs, you would be greated und addressed by name, your sunloungers ready with towels and a bucket of Evian bottles waiting for you. The ambassadors always looked cool and neat, in crisp white or cream linen kaftans and trousers. There is a small, but well-equipped gym and a small swimming-pool, but who needs that if you have the wonderfully warm and clear ocean right in front of you. We really came to appreciate the intimacy of the place, the relaxed atmosphere and the attentive service.
“Excellent”
