Recent Eastern Oriental Review: "We stayed at the E&O Hotel at the end of July 2011 and had a wonderful experience. The hotel is beautiful and luxurious throughout. We were greeted by the doorman and escorted through to reception where we were warmly welcomed. As we had to wait a couple of minutes whilst they finalised our reservation they asked us to sit down and served us fruit punch  and wet towels. The rooms are all suites, very spacious and elegant with solid hardwood floors, a wonderful seating area and old style bathrooms in keeping with the period furnishings. Breakfast was included in our rate and it was just sumptious - so much choice! Butler service was available 24 hours, which we only used to get a different pillow from the pillow menu. The pool was just fantastic, overlooking the ocean. Once you sit down the pool attendant gives you a glass of ice water! We are going back again next year and taking the kids and parents! It is a must do experience!"
