Everything was excellent. The ocean views are wonderful and the restaurant is extremely pleasant. The only thing to be aware of is that it is located on the other side of the island from the airport, although it is an easy drive.

The staff were great and friendly. The room was big and very clean with all amenities. The gardens were so beautiful and well kept. The breakfast was excellent and service was great. Easy parking. The view is magical. On the downside we’re the outside pool and the spa. The outside pool tiles were very dirthy at the water level. The stairs on the deep end are lose and very unsafe. The spa was being used as and indoor pool by guests and they were NOT WEARING the required he’d caps that we were tolled had to be worn. I reported this to staff but did not see anything being done about it. So we and some other guests were made to buy caps to use in the spa but others were not. Also, families using the spa with children were using inflatable tubes as if it were a regular pool. The water was cold and not the posted temperature and 80% of the jets did not work. There did not appear to be proper supervision of the spa area. This was very disappointing as the cost of a stay there is expensive and should be properly maintained. I would think twice in staying there again as the outdoor pool and spa is one of the main attractions I consider.

Magnifique point de chute

Difficile d'avoir une plus belle vue à partir de sa chambre d'hôtel! La chambre est grande, la salle de bain aussi et tout est bien pensé. Il y a un plus très joli balcon pour pouvoir assister au lever du soleil. La salle à manger est également orientée vers la mer. Le petit-déjeuner est varié et très bon.

Favorite place we stayed on our trip and probably one of our favorite places of all time! The staff were very friendly and accommodating, and helped answer all questions we had. Our hotel room was so comfortable. Entire facility kept clean. We loved the pool area and spa services. And the food offered in their restaurant/dining area was always delicious.

Excellent hotel and wonderful staff. Clean and comfortable rooms. A gem in Nordeste and definitely worth a visit. Breakfast was good, swimming pool and sauna were a treat, and dinner at the hotel was great. A quiet, quaint town and we loved that. Close to beautiful views and awesome hiking trails.
