Stayed for 5 days and service and hotel were 1st class. Food was excellent and special mention to The Tides and in particular Amal who went above and beyond in providing a 1st class dining experience. Special mention too to Jobi and his team on the front desk. Nothing was too much trouble. Would not hesitate to recommend

A fabulous hotel with exceptional service. The staff are fantastic and go the extra mile to help with any needs. As the hotel is situated on a hill, people have to walk up/down fairly steep walkways or climb up/down lots of steps. The hotel does provide a buggy service to drive people around, but it would be helpful if hand rails were installed along the walkways for guests wishing to walk.

I'd have preferred that during the check-in, I was told about the complimentary break fast, the complimentary tea in the evening, the dance performances, yoga timings etc. Basically, a one page print out, specific to my booking, should have been given to me, so that I don't miss out on things that I like
