Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is simply perfect, surrounded by beautiful gardens and just a short walk to Shanklin's esplanade. The rooms were cozy and had great facilities. The service was top-notch, and I even received a refreshing welcome drink upon arrival. The dining experience with views over the garden was delightful, although I wished for more regional jams. The facilities, especially the Tea Garden terrace with its stunning views, added a touch of luxury to my visit.
The hotel is nestled in an idyllic garden area very near the beach, creating a tranquil ambiance. The rooms are spacious and modern with cozy beds and good facilities, yet some are lacking balconies which would have added to the charm. The service is exceptional, including thoughtful housekeeping touches and a delightful welcome drink. Although the dining experience with shabu shabu was unique, the limited menu options left more to be desired. The facilities are well-maintained, offering a relaxing environment for guests.
