I had the pleasure of staying in this hotel for two nights last year. The interior is stunning and the smell of fresh flowers that hang from the majestic ceilings and chanderliers fills the reception area. The service is impeccable and all staff are wear traditional clothing of the highest quality. There is an air of an era long passed with this hotel, when Britain ruled the waves and gentlemen retired with a cigar and port after dinner! The room was large and furnished with the highest quality wood and silks. The bed had the most fantastically luxurious brushed egyption cotton sheets and every night our bed was turned down and a poem and flower were laid out for us. Every day a bowl of local fresh exotic fruit was put in our room with a card explaining how to eat and the exquisit flavour and texture we could expect. Its was the extra indulgences like this that made this hotel stand out from any other I have stayed at. Oh and I forget to mention the butler that came when you rang a bell! Can't wait to return.
