"Amazing location on the north cliff, next to three excellent restaurants - a beautiful beach viewpoint. The room was very spacious, bed comfortable, with good air con and wifi. Serviced well as needed. Staff helpful and responsive. Fridge and kettle provided. The only suggestions would to be provide a hairdryer and it really needed more plugs."

"The gym was too small. The men’s jacuzzi was not working all day. The unisex massage catered for women only as I requested a female masseur but they could not get one for me during my stay. So couldn’t get a massage for myself. We had to pay for the water to have a cup of coffee when I booked breakfast but my airport ride was 02:45 in morning so too early for breakfast but couldn’t even make a cup of coffee as I had to pay extra."
