I am having a difficult time trying to put in words how beautiful and tranquil this hotel is. Writing this, I am sitting on my balcony listening to the waves crash, looking at the lush greenery, hearing the sound of birds chirping and looking at the most beautiful rainbow that seems to belong just to me! I want to cry... More

We had a luxurious two story suite with its own pool overlooking the ocean, with easy access to an infinity pool which was frequently empty, as was their private beach (we went off season in July). It was just such a relaxing experience, and having such a fabulous restaurant on the... More

This was our second time at the Horned Dorset and it was just perfect! Wilhelm the General Manager is a most gracious host and seamlessly orchestrates paradise on earth! Just a few highlights: - The Residences/villas are a world of itself, the spanish/moroccan/bali decor is enchanting and though we were familiar with it, never gets old. The Kholer shower is... More

This is our second stay at this particular hotel. What we found to be offbeat and quirky the first stay turned into annoyance and frustration on this one.
