Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms were uniquely designed with a cozy fireplace, making them feel warm and inviting. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff always ready to assist in any way possible. The location was perfect, nestled in a beautiful courtyard surrounded by lush plants and just a short walk away from the vibrant streets of Antigua. However, the dining experience was a bit lacking, with only sweet biscuits provided. Despite that, the overall value for money was excellent.
