I stayed at this place for a week with both my family and friends. I do not have the words to say how much we apreciated our stay and we highly recomend this unique experience. This is not a regular hotel, here you are hosted as being in your home by amazingly friendly hosters in a very beautiful place. The... More

We stayed in this place in August 2011 just for one night (thank God for that). My expectations on this structure were very high since i thought it was going to be a very unique experience being it a convent. It's very down to the basics and this is fine one doesn't expect high standards in such place but i... More

we stayed in the Convent for 1 week from 28th May 2011. It is enchanting. We had a lovely room with a log fire. The bed linen was changed alternate days and the towels where changed everyday. The service was excellent. The couple who own it go out of their way to make the stay as pleasant as possible. Feel... More

A really unique place, when we first arrived we were worried as the outside looks really uninspiring but the conversion inside is really lovely. Our honeymoon room was lovely and the breakfasts were great- with freshly squeezed orange juice and fresh local pineapples every morning.

I recently stayed in this hotel because the building sounded fascinating to me. I was more than pleased with the building and the location but there were some down points. All other guests were on a yoga week and they were occupying all the common areas and sitting around making noise until late at night. This was really irritating considering... More

This is a unique property in an old convent. The building is beautiful & overlooks the ocean & has stunning views. The pool is large & nice. The property is well-kept and very clean, but also very spartan & there are NO frills (ie no shampoos, etc.). The beds are not very comfortable, and the breakfast is average - the... More
