Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Essence Hotel Boutique from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Essence Hotel Boutique is often praised for its stunning facilities, including a warm pool with jacuzzis open late for relaxation, and a lovely terrace. Guests rave about the breakfast, describing it as fresh and delicious with options for everyone; some also enjoy the rooftop bar, Space Monkey, which offers great views and sometimes features live music. The location is ideal, with beachfront bars nearby and only a short walk to the town centre. While a few guests have occasionally mentioned minor issues such as a less-than-perfect gym, the overall experience tends to be very positive, with some even enjoying sea views from their rooms.

the room was a double or twin room pool view and had a nice balcony. i liked having a nespresso maker in the room for morning coffee. the pool area was lovely, it had plenty of loungers.
our room was quite small and the bathroom felt tight. breakfast seemed cold after 9:30 am. we paid extra for a terrace, though it barely fit a couple.

I savored every moment near the pool. The luxurious sun loungers met my expectations! the temperature of the pool was lovely. A gentle caress on the skin. i was really surprised by the three large jacuzzis, discovering them was like finding hidden gems. i loved how they were open late, offering relaxation under the stars.
the check-in process seemed a bit cold, the receptionist wasn't as friendly, dampening the arrival experience a little.

small roominefficient air conditioning
The room assigned was notably small for two persons and luggage. the air conditioning unit, positioned directly above the bed, seemed inefficient. a persistent, faint odor pervaded the bathroom. I suspect inadequate ventilation contributed to this issue. breakfast lacked variety. Repetition marred the dining experience. the elevator operated slowly. Waiting times were excessive during peak hours.

The location was ideal. It was very close to the beach and shops! I found many restaurants nearby. The room had a coffee machine and a kettle. It was useful.
The breakfast service lacked flexibility. The set time was inconvenient! I wanted an earlier breakfast. The sauna operated for only one hour daily.
