A beautiful, peaceful location with stunning views over the ocean. The grounds and pool were beautifully maintained and the lovely lady at the bar was friendly, welcoming and most helpful. What let this place down for us was the room. It needed an upgrade and was dirty.

Checking in was incredibly easy. The clear instructions, sent directly to my mobile, were perfect for someone like me arriving late at night and leaving early in the morning. The room itself was very spacious with a very and a comfy bed. The view from the balcony was truly breathtaking. I'd highly recommend it as a place to spend some quiet time and just soak in the views.
