We stayed at one of the suites at The Houben for three nights a couple of weeks ago, and honestly - it was WONDERFUL. The only complaint I have is that three nights wasn't enough! Some highlights... 1. The view is spectacular!! The sunsets are spectacular!! (But the photos attest to this right??!) 2. The staff are amazing. So kind and courteous, and went above and beyond to help us. They booked multiple transfers for us, and showed a genuine interest in our safety when we enquired about renting a scooter - we decided to take their advice on board and rent a car and driver for the day and we weren't disappointed. The driver was amazing! He told us so many facts and stories about the area. And, the staff also organised an early breakfast box for us one morning. 3. Monkeys!! No doubt the locals see them as a menace, but they're good entertainment for us guests - also, one stole a melon from my breakfast plate one morning and who I assume was the manager was so apologetic!! It wasn't necessary to be so apologetic but we appreciated it all the same! 4. The bed and the room was very comfortable!!! 5. The abundance of fresh fruit was a nice touch!! 6. 2-4-1 between 5-7 on cocktails and beer!!! Some points to improve... 1. The hotel is a bit tired... The outside jacuzzi in the suite was very tired, and almost broken 2. The shower's hardware was a bit tired and old looking (but it worked!!) 3. The pool... We appreciate that the red pool is a statement piece, but it's not very appealing! If the time comes to revamp it, maybe stick to blue? 4. The wardrobes and drawers were worse for wear However, the points above wouldn't stop me returning!! They're small details in the grand scheme of things!!!
