I like the Pearl because it is a small, peaceful complex. The rooms and beds are clean and comfortable and the staff are very helpful. I had no issues with the breakfast, plenty for me. Had to pay if I wanted a second glass of watermelon juice but it is so cheap, who cares. I love that no-one under the age of 16 is allowed to stay there, that is a big plus if you don't like kids and don't want all the screaming and yelling around the pool as most of the rooms are only a couple of steps from the pool. Lovely outdoor and huge bathroom with separate shower. Only one rabbit left but gorgeous. The gardens and grounds are lovely.
The things I don't like is being woken up at 4:00 am every morning by the rooster that lives in the property at the back. The rooms are very small and there is no chair in the room (deluxe ground floor), could only sit on the bed or go out onto the verandah. The bathroom has an enormous, very designer looking stone basin that would be over a metre long but it is all basin and no vanity. It slopes from the edge to the middle so you have to balance everything on the edge and everything gets wet. Nowhere else to put a toiletry bag or anything.
Having said all that I would stay there again. I love the restaurant.
