our stay here in Istana on the strand has been amazing. from the location, the service by Shirley and Hugh, to the little details. we have loved staying here so much! Shirley is incredible to deal with, and Hugh (owner) has been an absolute Gem! he even baked us a beautiful banana bread for one of our groups birthdays, it was absolutely delicious! I couldn't be happier with everything, or recommend Shirley, Hugh and their properties highly enough!
