Fantastic place is every way. Well managed. Beautifully decorated. Great attention to detail. I enjoyed the morning included breakfast, the candles in the public areas in the evening and the real fireplace with wood in the room, lit by the staff in the evening. Amazing all around.

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!

The only thing that was annoying was the group of guests that met up with their tour guide every morning and they were very loud. The tour guide was especially loud and it was disturbing to the peacefulness of the property. Other than that we had a very relaxing time

A beautiful gem located in the heart of Antigua! The staff is incredibly friendly and helped me navigate Antigua, as it was my first time visiting. The hotel is just steps away from a number of landmarks, restaurants and stores. Be sure to take in the beauty of the courtyard while enjoying breakfast or a glass of wine in the evening. The fireplace in the room also provides another element of comfort and charm!

This hotel is STUNNING. The actual architecture and design of the hotel is beautiful, but what maintains its beauty are the employees. You can tell the employees care deeply about the hotel. All of the employees were beyond attentive to each guest and always greeted you with a smile. Very detail of this place was impressive. I personally loved that it was small enough to feel private with a more attentive detail with each and every guest. I will 100 percent be back! Thank you!

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.

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.
