10/10 Excellent

An amazing view, great restaurant at the hotel, room is nicely decorated, and even in the heat of summer the breeze off the ocean made it a comfortable night sleep. And you just can't match swimming off the back of your hotel room into crystal clear warm water. Loved every minute of it, thanks!
