Positive Reviews
positive:
Close to both golf course and beach
The hotel is situated in a pine forest and is close both to a wild beach and a golf course. Those who enjoyed golf, and taking long walks on near deserted beaches, were most happy, since these could easily be accessed from the hotel.
positive:
Elegant rooms with spacious bathrooms
It was hard to find guests who didn't like the room they were in. They were all in agreement that the rooms were very well designed, with lovely décor and a bathroom that was more than adequate in size.
positive:
Truly excellent staff
It was impossible to find a bad word written about the staff. They were described as very kind, and truly went far out of their way to meet any of their guests' reasonable expectations.
Negative Reviews
negative:
A bit too remote for some
While some guests simply loved the location in a pine, this remoteness was clearly not suited to all. Some mentioned feeling a bit like they were stuck in the middle of nowhere, and would likely have been happier at a hotel with other amenities and life nearby.
negative:
Does not live up to its star rating
Though perhaps a complaint that was a bit too general, a significant number of guests said that they did not think the hotel lived up to its star rating. While nothing was said to be really terrible, “luxury” hotels have high standards to meet, and in the mind of many guests the attention to detail and finer points that are necessary in luxury properties, were lacking.
negative:
Problems with insects
Perhaps due to its location in a pine forest, several guests report experiencing various problems with insects, the most serious of which was wasps. It may be a good idea to bring strong and effective insect repellent.
