We had a delightful stay in Essence Boutique Hotel. The hotel has clearly been recently refurbished to a high standard and the rooms are very comfortable and well appointed. The balcony especially was lovely. The pool area is beautiful with a mixture of loungers and beds. The hotel is well located for the beach, restaurants and nightlife and the staff were lovely. Would love to stay here again.

Welcoming and helpful reception staff. No questions were unanswered. Bar, lounge, restaurant spotless. You can chill by the pool or one of the jacuzzies all day as the water in them is tempreture controlled. Even in a chilly evening you can pop in to the jacuzzi. 😍 Can't wait to be back, thank you all
