The property was one of the most beautiful and well-curated properties I’ve been to anywhere in the world. Matched with excellent food and world class service from everyone
Beautiful hotel. They upgraded our room to a beautiful suite. Rooms are very nice and spacious with beautiful views if the ocean and gardens.Breakfast and lunch are very good. Service in the restaurant is a little slow but overall amazing experience. Great customer service, beautiful gardens, great location and view
The staff at this hotel was incredible. The general manager of the hotel is a star. I never wanted to leave. A perfect place with a perfect staff. I love them.
It was truly spectacular from all aspects. The property was a WOW and the views were breathtaking. The staff and concierge were exceptional. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a lifetime experience.
Amazing place and definitely worth a visit for a few days. Be prepared to pay a lot for food and drinks. Service was impeccable. Rooms are small but very clean and beautiful!
We stayed there with another couple our friends for four fabulous nights and we all enjoyed every minute’s of it.
The property, location, service, facilities and food is outstanding. Staff are supper friendly and helpful, especially one of the staff who we really appreciated during our stay with friends at the property is Miss Denise Perna with her exceptional service…Denise thank u for making our stay joyful. Also the manager on duty the day we checked in was very helpful and courteous. Breakfast was Devine we lots of variety and a great service. All restaurants were great. Hotel location is fantastic close and walkable to attractions, restaurants and a wonderful shopping area. 10 minutes drive from the beach but u can easily take a taxi to one of the beach clubs since the hotel doesn’t have its own beach club so u have to actually pay to go to the one hotel recommended which was nice but pricey. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely go back again soon.
Everything was over the top!
I have been to many Four Seasons properties in Europe. Not only they kept the standards of the hotel chain, this was the best one!
Breakfast was amazing, the spa was divine and honestly except the pool being a little too small. Everything was just perfect.
