Berenice, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Truly a lovely weekend getaway that makes you feel like you’re in a forest hideaway. Close enough to Main Street to walk to the shops and even all the way down to the shore. Nice staff, tasty food, clean. This place was recommended to me by a friend and I’d be happy to recommend it, myself. I’d stay here again with the only difference being that I’d stay LONGER.

Sam, 2-night trip

Already looking forward to going back

Can't not say stunning enough. Hotel ground is beautifully designed with trees, flowers and fountains. Jasmine fragrance permeates the air and greets guests upon arrival. Breakfast is served in style with a different entrée each day. Guests are pampered by very attentive servers (Dana is absolutely fabulous). Happy hour everyday with wine and delicious hor'doeuvres from 530 to 630pm.
