"A bit of an adventure getting to the hotel as it is located at the top of a very steep drive way that meanders though a coconut and pepper plantation. Once there however, the views are great and the ambiance tranquil. The balcony overlooks tree tops, which for anyone seeking a quiet hideaway, this place is perfect."

Hotel Casamara

Hotel Casamara

10/10 Excellent
"Very clean and spacious room. Helpful and kind staff. Location is perfect, in the middle of the city, not far from the bus stop and train station. Generous breakfast in the morning. This is an old hotel, that has kept its charm and looks. But there are some downsides to it: the shower in my room was very weak. I don’t know if there is a link to it, but the wifi was also very slow. The pool area is really nice but it could be looked after better."
