Amazing On-Site Restaurant

During my stay, I was genuinely impressed with the on-site restaurant at Hidden Jewel Boutique Hotel. The food was delicious and far exceeded my expectations, making it unnecessary to venture into town for meals. Every dish I tried was fantastic, and I found the pricing to be quite reasonable considering the quality. The highlight was definitely the Mennonite ice cream - an absolute treat!

Cozy and Comfortable

I loved the bungalow we stayed in. It had a super comfortable bed, and after a long day of exploring, it felt wonderful to retire each night. The air conditioning worked like a charm, keeping the room nice and cool, which was perfect after spending time outdoors. I was also pleased with the room’s decor, which added a charming touch to our stay.

Great Amenities within the Room

I was pleasantly surprised to find a water dispenser in our room, complete with hot and cold water options. It was convenient to have this feature, allowing us to refill our bottles before heading out for a day of adventure. I also appreciated the thoughtful inclusion of quality shower products that made the daily routine so much more enjoyable!

Lovely Pool Area

The pool area at Hidden Jewel was a good oasis. I truly enjoyed lounging by the pool with a drink in hand. The staff did a great job keeping the space clean and maintained, and it was a perfect spot to unwind after a day of fun. The ambiance around the pool made it feel like a little slice of paradise.

I recently stayed at this boutique hotel, and it really impressed me with its charming atmosphere and clean, comfortable rooms. I enjoyed sitting by the pool and soaking up the sun, but I did find that the restaurant could use more variety in its menu. Overall, the experience was good, but there were a few shortcomings that kept it from being perfect.

Staying at this boutique hotel was quite a mixed experience for me. The rooms boasted a fantastic blend of comfort and cleanliness, making my stay enjoyable. However, I found the dining options to be limited, particularly for breakfast. The location just steps away from the beach was perfect for relaxation, although the Wi-Fi situation left something to be desired since it wasn’t included in the price. Overall, it’s a good value for money if you’re not overly dependent on internet access.
