"- Great restaurant - spacious room - Friendly service at the restaurant"

"- Breakfast starting only at 8AM - too late if we have morning flights or excursions - bad leveling of the floor in the bathroom, resulting in water going all around in the room."

"The restaurant meals were wonderful and varied. The location seemed central to several of our activities. It was super clean and included many essentials. We enjoyed hanging out in the garden with drinks."

"We found the bed a bit hard and would have appreciated shampoo being provided. The wifi was not strong enough for video calls in the room nor in the shared hallway."

"Very rich breakfast with fresh fruit juice, carefully prepared by Constantin and others staff, who are very helpful and polite. Nice restaurant, also popular for locals. Overall, highly recommended for short stays with a great value for money."

"The noise of a construction site, but this is not under the control of the Hotel."

Donatus - 10/11/2025 11:55:26

"My 2nd time here. Rooms are absolutely fine (very nice to be able to open windows while still barring mosquitoes from entering ;) Staff is helpful and nice. But the best reason to sleep here is if you like a good dinner ;) It's a restaurant first, hotel 2nd, just a few rooms. Breakfast is very nice and personal - no buffet, and with the good stuff they serve, don't need one either."

"Nothing."

Vincent - 16/07/2025 16:28:16

Guest reviews

"The staff (and manager specifically) went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful stay, even going out of his way to help us get transportation to our next destination. It was clean, comfortable and had lots of great outdoor seating, especially the top floor balcony, which you can see the ocean from."

"Very cute hotel, beautiful garden, helpful staff and a lot of interesting visits can be planned with them. Best place in Porto Novo for sure. Have already been there several times over the past 5 years and was never disappointed."
