It’s good value for money. Not an expensive resort and the room is large. The food choice for breakfast is quite good and it is near to the beach.

Nice place to stay near the beach. Good view to the sea from poolside. The jacuzzi area is old, the bubble jet bath non functioning. Spa front desk reception lady may need some guest caring training.

* Great living accomodations - very spacious and clean. * Excellent location with a short 7 minute walk to beach. * Pools are convenient, but the salt water pool turns into "day care" every afternoon.

Very remote location but the hotel is excellent. Beautiful rooms although they need some way to keep housekeeping from constantly knocking. Salt water pool is a bit chilly but the view is wonderful. Short walk to the small beach

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
They had a great design idea but poor execution or maintenance. Shower walls with mold and water build up inside, broken drain slab. All minor things, but it made this 5 star hotel feel like 4 stars. Food wasn't the greatest, but not bad. The only thing I was upset about was them ignoring the "do not disturb" sign, as they got in the room regardless to make the bed and touched our stuff that was on top of it. We were there for only 2 nights and didn't need room cleaning, so we kept the "do not disturb" sign on. Thankfully we weren't in the room when they came in, but I was still upset to find out they ignored the sign.

Beautiful location away from the crowds; great breakfast. Getting there was a bit challenging (curvy two-way one lane road) but worth the effort. If you enjoy cliff hiking, this is for you!
