点评:What a lovely place to stay! I recommend this place for couples, friends, or solo trips when looking for a peaceful, calm, quaint, and charming experience. (I would not recommend this place for families with minor children.) If you are looking for the type of resort that has restaurants and bars by the pool or on the grounds, this is not the place for you. There are no restaurants or bars on site. We thought this would be a problem or annoying, but this aspect ended up being a blessing!
Le Vele consists of condo and hotel units. There are proprietors of certain units who call Le Vele home or their pied a terre, so you know that the grounds are taken care of quite well. You'll never have to worry about random people from other resorts or properties walking on the grounds. It is safe and all the proprietors and guests are respectful of each other's space, noise level, etc. The residents and staff are incredibly warm, introducing themselves to guests, greeting each other happily every day, and sharing ideas with guests on restaurants, activities, etc.
You will NEVER have to fight for or stress out about an ideal spot or chairs on the beach or at the pool. No need to claim a spot as soon as the sun rises. There is a friendly attendant at the beach who will be available from around 8 am to sunset, and will help with setting up beach chairs, small tables, and umbrellas for you. The attendant will also have complimentary cold bottles of water. Fluffy and soft beach towels are available for use at the beach and pool at all times. The infinity style pool is so quiet and relaxing, with plenty of chairs, small tables, and umbrellas.
Each unit has a kitchenette of different sizes (depending upon the unit size), but at minimum, you'll have: sets of dishes, mugs, glasses, and utensils; microwave; coffee maker with high quality ground coffee beans; mini fridge that is big enough to hold bottles of water, small cartons of milk/juice, cans of beverages, snacks, etc.; paper towels or kitchen towel; and new cleaning sponge and dish soap. Each unit also has a balcony with furniture.
Le Vele is conveniently located. It's on Manor Street, which is a block off of the main road (Grace Bay Road). One side of Manor Street is a dead end, so you avoid a high volume of vehicular traffic through Manor Street. The neighboring properties are also condos/villas, so the neighborhood is very quiet. The big grocery store is a 15 min. walk. There is also a convenience store (similar to 7 Eleven) and a couple of wine/liquor stores about 8-10 min. away. You can get everything you need at these stores. You can also get to the bigger, fancier resorts and restaurants within a 15-20 min. walk. Coffeehouses, bars, and restaurants are along the main road or down the block -- all within 5-15 min. walk from Le Vele.
You cannot have food or glass packaging by the pool (for obvious reasons), but there are designated picnic/BBQ areas at each end of the pool for eating and grilling. You can request the staff for use of the BBQ grills. We saw couples enjoying glasses of wine in these areas in the evening, with the gently lighted pool as a backdrop.
After the first night of our stay, the air conditioner in our unit stopped working, but the general manager came right away to address the issue. After discovering that he would need to call the A/C technician, he moved us into a different unit immediately. And to make up for the inconvenience, we got a bigger unit with an ocean view. We had a pool and garden view originally, which was so pretty. The general manager was so great throughout this situation. We were able to laugh about it afterwards.
The front desk staff was ready for check-in when we arrived, gave us a quick tour, and escorted us to our unit. She ordered us cab rides to the airport, which arrived on time and charged a reasonable flat rate. She also provided us a late check out without any extra fees.
The bed was a little squeaky, but was fairly comfortable. The bed and bath linens are soft and comfortable. The shampoos/conditioners, lotions, and soaps are the Nest brand. Each guest will get a pair of slippers and a robe. Each unit also comes with a complimentary tote bag for use on the beach and/or pool and each guest will receive a complimentary stainless steel water bottle (branded with the Le Vele name and logo). The tote bag came in handy when going to the grocery/convenience store as well.
The only complaints we have are minor. They should offer wine bottle openers in the rooms/units. They should buy some new pillows. The pillows in our original room were really flat. They need to do some mosquito control -- we got bitten and immediately upon leaving our room, and several mosquitoes came into our room every night. The balcony doors are dated/aged, so they are hard to open and close. And there is some inconsistency among the rooms -- the first room had 4 trash cans, but the second room had only 2 trash cans; the linens and pillows are different in each room; there was a small safe in one room, but no safe in another room; there was room darkening shades in one room, but no darkening shades in the other room.
Le Vele was so peaceful and relaxing, and we really enjoyed our stay. We will be back!
翻译:多么可爱的住宿地点!如果想体验宁静、平和、古雅和迷人的体验,我推荐情侣、朋友或单人旅行来这里。(我不推荐有未成年子女的家庭来这里。)如果您正在寻找泳池边或场地上有餐厅和酒吧的度假村,这里不适合您。度假村内没有餐厅或酒吧。我们原以为这会是个问题或烦人的地方,但最终却发现这是一件好事!
Le Vele 包括公寓和酒店单元。某些单元的业主称 Le Vele 为家或他们的 pied a terre,因此您知道场地维护得很好。您永远不必担心其他度假村或物业的陌生人会在场地上行走。这里很安全,所有业主和客人都尊重彼此的空间、噪音水平等。居民和工作人员都非常热情,他们会向客人介绍自己,每天愉快地互相问候,并与客人分享关于餐厅、活动等的想法。
您永远不必为海滩或泳池的理想位置或椅子而争吵或感到压力。太阳一升起,就不需要马上占位置。海滩上有一位友好的服务员,他会在早上 8 点左右到日落时分提供服务,并会帮助您摆放沙滩椅、小桌子和遮阳伞。服务员还会提供免费的冷水瓶。海滩和泳池随时提供蓬松柔软的沙滩巾供您使用。无边泳池非常安静和放松,有很多椅子、小桌子和遮阳伞。
每个单元都有一个不同大小的小厨房(取决于单元大小),但至少,您将拥有:碗碟、杯子、玻璃杯和餐具套装;微波炉;咖啡机配有高品质的咖啡豆;迷你冰箱,足够大,可以容纳瓶装水、小盒牛奶/果汁、罐装饮料、零食等;纸巾或厨房用巾;以及新的清洁海绵和洗洁精。每个单元还设有带家具的阳台。
Le Vele 位置便利。它位于 Manor Street,距离主干道(Grace Bay Road)只有一个街区。Manor Street 的一侧是死胡同,因此您可以避开 Manor Street 上大量的车辆交通。邻近的房产也是公寓/别墅,所以社区非常安静。大型杂货店距离酒店有 15 分钟步行路程。还有一家便利店(类似于 7-11)和几家葡萄酒/酒类商店,距离酒店约 8-10 分钟路程。您可以在这些商店买到所需的一切。您还可以在 15-20 分钟的步行路程内到达更大、更豪华的度假村和餐厅。咖啡馆、酒吧和餐厅位于主干道沿线或街区下方——距离 Le Vele 步行 5-15 分钟即可到达。
您不能在泳池边吃东西或玻璃包装食品(原因很明显),但泳池两端都有指定的野餐/烧烤区供您用餐和烧烤。您可以要求工作人员使用烧烤架。晚上,我们看到情侣们在这些区域享用葡萄酒,背景是灯光柔和的泳池。
入住的第一晚后,我们房间的空调停止工作,但总经理马上就来解决这个问题。在发现需要打电话给空调技师后,他立即将我们转移到另一个房间。为了弥补不便,我们得到了一个更大的海景房。我们原本可以看到泳池和花园,非常漂亮。总经理在整个过程中都很棒。事后我们笑了起来。
我们到达时,前台工作人员已准备好办理入住手续,带我们快速参观了一下,并护送我们到房间。她帮我们叫了出租车去机场,出租车准时到达,收费合理。她还为我们提供了延迟退房服务,无需额外付费。
床有点吱吱作响,但相当舒适。床上用品和浴巾柔软舒适。洗发水/护发素、乳液和肥皂都是 Nest 品牌。每位客人都会得到一双拖鞋和一件浴袍。每个房间还配有一个免费的手提袋,供客人在海滩和/或泳池使用,每位客人都会得到一个免费的不锈钢水瓶(印有 Le Vele 的名称和标志)。手提袋在去杂货店/便利店时也派上了用场。
我们唯一的抱怨是微不足道的。他们应该在房间/房间内提供葡萄酒开瓶器。他们应该买一些新枕头。我们原来房间里的枕头真的很扁。他们需要做一些灭蚊工作——我们刚离开房间就被蚊子咬了,而且每晚都有几只蚊子飞进我们的房间。阳台门已经过时/老化了,所以很难打开和关闭。而且房间之间有些不一致——第一个房间有 4 个垃圾桶,但第二个房间只有 2 个垃圾桶;每个房间的床单和枕头都不一样;一个房间有一个小保险箱,但另一个房间没有保险箱;一个房间有遮光窗帘,但另一个房间没有遮光窗帘。
Le Vele 非常安静和放松,我们真的很享受我们的住宿。我们会再来的!
