The property and staff were 5 stars. The only thing that was not 5 stars was no A/C. Really not an issue because the temperature was comfortable. Even without a gym, one was within a short walking distance. Also restaurants surround the property.

Wow. This hotel was excellent. Extremely quiet, quiet, and private. We stayed for 2 days but wish we would have stayed longer. Breakfast options were delicious. It is a small hotel but amazingly clean and comfortable, and will stay again when in Antigua

Beautiful Hotel!

This is a beautiful hotel with the most beautiful courtyard and rooms. It is very well made. The only minus point is that there is no AC in the rooms. We were here one night (because of this reason) and were offered a fan which worked well for us. But having an AC would definitely have impacted our decision to stay longer. The breakfast setting is beautiful right outside the room surrounding the courtyard. It was an overall beautiful stay!

We were SO lucky to have found this gem of a hotel. Although all of Antigua is a jewel, this perfectly located hotel hides behind a simple wall BUT inside is an oasis complete with gardens and tranquility for each large private suite. The staff is highly professional, well trained in receiving foreign visitors and understand our high standards. This hotel and its staff truly went out of their way to make everything perfect and we had the best stay. Location is ideal and it is decorated elegantly and comfortably with seating areas for lounging, etc.

The property itself is like an oasis within the city. The appointments, feed, service and style were wonderful. I will stay at this hotel again in a heartbeat. There are only seven rooms. We stayed in suite #7 which had an open air (closeable) to a water feature. The bathroom was top notch with a shower that could work for a 7 foot man. The suite had a beautiful living room with adjoining sleeping area. There is plenty of outside light and chandeliers throughout the suit.

There are some luxury amenities and a delicious breakfast. Unfortunately there was construction next to my unit during my stay, so I decided to leave early. I do appreciate how the staff were willing to give me a refund for one unused night, but would’ve appreciated some more understanding or help for the two nights of disruption before that.
