    The location was incredible, for example, a historic church was at a moderate distance from the hotel. Distance to the airport was just 15 km. The staff was excellent and provided us with tips. We got a room with a bathtub.

    Can’t fault the property in any way.

    The rooms at Fort Dew were fantastic! They had a cozy feel with their 4-poster beds and mosquito nets. The free Wi-Fi was a great bonus, and having a private balcony was the cherry on top. I loved the personal touch of ironing facilities in the room. The en suite bathroom was well-stocked with bath amenities.

    Personally, I found the presence of mosquito nets a bit bothersome, but I understand that they are necessary in this tropical setting.

    I had a fantastic stay at this guest house! The value for money was excellent, and the room, though basic, was clean and comfortable. The location was unbeatable, with stunning views of the fort ramparts, ocean, and breathtaking sunsets from the balcony. The staff treated me with utmost warmth and were incredibly helpful throughout my stay.

    The hotel breakfast menu could have had more options to choose from.

    The location of this guest house is simply outstanding! It is situated right across from the fort ramparts and the ocean, making it a prime spot to enjoy the beautiful views. it is conveniently located near many of the best street cafes and shops, making it easy to explore and indulge in local cuisine and shopping. The balcony areas are also a great feature, providing nice views of the surroundings.

    While the rooms were clean, they were a bit basic and could use some refurbishment. The furniture was a bit older, and we could hear noise from the adjacent bathroom due to a vent connection.
