Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Comfort and facilities score lower than other categories — Guests rate comfort and facilities at 7.5, notably below the overall 9.2 and the 9.3 for rooms and service. This suggests the physical setup may feel more basic than the service level.
  • Limited scale — With only 8 rooms, space can be tight and availability limited. The property may not suit those looking for a larger resort experience.
  • Check-in window closes at midnight — Check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:59, so you need to arrive before the end of the day. Late arrivals may not be accommodated.
  • Check-out starts early — Check-out is from 08:00 to 12:00. If you prefer a leisurely morning, you'll need to plan around the 8 a.m. start.
