The hype
Reviewers universally adore the staff (shoutout to Sam and Grace) and the breakfast, but often find the gym laughable.

$150-300/ natt
Boka detta om You want a romantic, time-capsule escape to 1920s Indochine luxury that feels miles away from the chaotic tourist strip.
Varför människor älskar det
- Stunning French colonial architecture that feels authentic, not kitschy
- The Peppertree restaurant offers some of the best fine dining on the island
- Lush, jungle-like gardens that create a genuine sense of privacy
Snabb Överblick: A gorgeous colonial oasis that is occasionally marred by damp ground-floor rooms and the constant click of influencer photo shoots.
Recenserat av @_guess_where_we_are_: I brought my family here for a getaway and the vibe was unmatched. The private beach dinner we had at sunset was one of those 'pinch me' moments. Highly recommend for a special occasion.

Reality check
The 'old world charm' extends to the plumbing and humidity control in some ground-floor rooms, leading to complaints of musty smells.
- You appreciate history and architecture over modern glass-box luxury
- You are a couple seeking a romantic, quiet sunset spot
- You want a boutique feel (70 rooms) rather than a mega-resort factory
Renlighet & Underhåll
8.8
- Housekeeping: Daily and thorough, with thoughtful turndown service (chocolates, sorbet).
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally sparkling, but watch for mold in grout lines in older ground-floor units.
- Maintenance: Exterior paint and gardens are manicured; interior plumbing in some rooms shows age.
- Linens & towels: High quality, crisp white linens; towels are fluffy and plentiful.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of fresh lemongrass; some rooms have a lingering musty/damp scent.

“I would appreciate a room on an upper floor to ensure maximum airflow and avoid humidity. If available, an odd-numbered room with a view of the ocean would be ideal. Please ensure the room is away from any active construction on neighboring lots.”

Insider-tips
- ✨
The 'Secret Garden' spot near the spa is the best place for a quiet read away from the pool crowd.
- ✨
Ask for the 'turndown sorbet' if they miss you — it's a guest favorite.
- ✨
Walk 5 minutes down the beach to 'Rory's Beach Bar' for a totally different, younger vibe.
5 saker du bör veta innan du åker
💡The 'gym' is essentially a small room with a few dumbbells and a treadmill — do not plan a serious training camp here.
💡The driveway is paved with uneven bricks that are a tripping hazard at night.
💡You might get a parting gift of local pepper or cookies upon checkout.
💡The 'garden view' rooms can sometimes just mean 'view of a bush right in front of your window'.
💡Sandflies on the beach can be vicious at sunset — cover up your ankles.
