"A beautiful hotel from the colonial era at the center with huge potential but unfortunently poorly managed. Rooms are basic but in need a shapeup. The biggest drawback however is management with lost bookings, lack of staff and info and a breakfast so disorganized that we went after finalilly got a table went halfthrough. Management need to deside a clear path here, is it a hotel, a retirement home or a dodgy art center, now a mix of it all"

"Booked and confirmed in October for me, my wife, kids and a close family for the New Year but no room availabe when I arrived. I complained, they tried to get me rooms in other hotels. So my stay was going from one hotel to another until I ended up staying in diferent hotels around 1 km apart from one another. A disgusting and stressful experience in a country where everything runs so well!!"

"I recently had the pleasure of re-discovering this complex which on reflection has played a major role within our family over the last 60+ years.

My older sister and myself were born at the Prinzessin Rupprecht Heim maternity ward.
Many family friends have been visited at the Old Age facility over the years. My last memory of our father is right here, where he spent his last few weeks on this earth. His funeral reception was held in dignity in the dining room of the hotel.
More recently I was exploring an option for accommodation for our mom.

The staff here were awesome in their approach to all enquiries.
Access was granted to the available unit for measuring up, the communications were faultless, with prompt answers supplied to all questions, there was only support, helpfulness, openness & grace.

I wish to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the staff who assisted us with our requests.

We were also provided access to the room where babies were delivered in the sixties. Without any expectations or recognition and being a rather cynical creature, I actually felt something in that room which I can only describe as envelopment / safety / comfort.

The entire complex makes for a very pleasant environment. The hotel and reception areas are welcoming and augment the mix of accommodation on offer.
The planted courtyard with all it’s nooks and crannies, birdlife, water features, pathways to explore and the dining room for residents looks homely and intimate.
The beach and shops are close by which adds to the charm as a temporary or permanent home.

It's a unique and special place steeped in history."
