We're a couple in our 60's and this was our 2nd stay at the Sebel. The staff are always friendly and helpful, the rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the pool and jacuzzi clean and warm. Whilst the hotel is on the outskirts of town, we appreciate the walk and it's close to the Port area.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
It is out of town (we should have checked this) with a very steep driveway and/or stairs. The unit itself was fine except the shower leaked a lot and the bed was uncomfortable. The cupboards had not been cleaned for some time and having other guest shoes in the cupboard only confirmed this. A disappointing stay !
