Recent reviews
Very Good 8.0 From 83 reviews
We enjoyed the hotel. Has spectacular view from the pool over the ocean.
HI, We booked into the Fairmont Lodge, and we upgraded our room to a suite at the hotel as the lodge was not what we expected it to be. The hotel is amazing, i would recommend booking at the hotel instead of the lodge
Wonderful experience. Old world charm which catered to our every need.
Friendliness of staf n spectacular views
The place is amazing great location and views. Awesome facility Place just does not seem to be kept up at the moment think the management could be better. Room dusty and request were not done soon arrival.
