From the cool halls of the Coco beach, the Hotel sweeps down to the sea in a series of broad terraces. Gone through are the seventies concrete walks to be replaced by cascading water and dripping fern pools crossed by Japanese bridges and traversed by timbered walkways. Lilly – ponds filled with darting gold fish and cool jade – green grottoes where fountain play fill the pathways. Should all this have made you keen to catch the leopard by the tail and give it a whirl, you will need to know that both the service and the food are first rate and the food are first rate and that there are lots of different levels of rooms to choose from; all tastefully furnished and well appointed to include: baths, showers and bidets, efficient AC, satellite TV, radios, telephones and minibars.
