My recent stay at 52 De Wet Luxury Boutique Hotel was a mixed experience. While the views and room quality were really good, I did encounter a few issues like the air conditioning and power outages that impacted my stay. Overall, I enjoyed the ambiance and the service provided by the team, but there were some aspects that could be improved.

My stay at 52 De Wet was quite cozy with stunning ocean views from the balcony, but I experienced a few hiccups. The location was perfect for exploring surrounding areas, but the power outages made things a bit tricky. Overall, it was a nice stay with lovely hosts and a beautiful setting.

Rooms

I had an Oceanview room with a large bathroom and a nice balcony overlooking Bantry Bay. The room was comfortable, but the air conditioning placement was a bit annoying since it blew right on me at night. Also, I couldn't get the TV to work, but that didn’t bother me much since I was out exploring most of the time.
