Location, old world charm.
Aircon was cold regardless of the setting chosen. Few Tv channels. Sarkies a la carte menu limited. Waiters not attentive.

Historical / heritage building in Georgetown.
The maintenance of the room could be better. Some things are worn out or not maintained well. The beats from the disco / nightclub below or nearby can be heard from the room. Spoilt the image of a reputable luxury hotel.

The balcony of my Corner Suite provided amazing sea views, enhancing our family in-room dining experience. Breakfast at Sarkies featured a great spread that catered to all tastes, making each morning special.

Service; style; heritage; location; rooms
Buffet breakfast no longer has sparkling wines and mineral waters available, nor is the range of foods (still great, though) as extensive.

The breakfast selection delighted us daily, especially the fresh local dishes. Dining at 1885 was an exquisite treat, despite minor hiccups in service. Pro tip, make reservations well in advance for peak times!

The beautiful suite king had amazing sea views from a large wrap-around balcony. Breakfast was an absolute treat with freshly baked pastries and a variety of local dishes available. Staff were attentive, we had everything we needed, from a comfy sofa in our room to a luxurious double shower. Loved the infinity pool with a fine view!
