Amazing hotel

The hotel is beautiful and the views are wonderful. The road to the hotel is rough but that doesn't bother me. The beds need to be more comfortable. They are a little too hard for me. Other than that everything else was great!

They property had beautiful views and access to beach at low tide. Was a remote location with a rough road to access it. They should specify that it is a alcohol free resort. Staff was friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the quiet and views.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Цена слишком завышена, хотя место приятное.

Сама территория отеля ухожена, приятная, особенно зона у бассейна. Номер маленький, но все необходимое есть. Ресторан неплохой. Виды из ресторана и от бассейна завораживающие. Для пары дней после перелета - хорош для адаптации. Но вот с пляжем - беда. В океан заходить неприятно и опасно (дно каменистое).
