Staff were excellent, from cleaners waitresses, reception, nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were clean. We stayed in a spa room which overlooked the pool and ocean. The only reason i gave 4 stars and not 5 stars was that the toilet and shower are together in one area. If you’ve had a shower and then need to use the toilet even after an hour, the floor is still wet from the shower and need to be careful due to it being a bit slippery.

relaxing but needs a facelift

showing some signs of wear and tear, toilet was very dirty - dark marks at the back which were off-putting. The location is lovely, bed comfy, quiet and peaceful but not the type of luxury accommodation which you would expect at that price point.

Always an enjoyable place to stay, including in the colder months when less people stay there. Watching the sun rise over the horizon early morning, is every photographers dream moment. Breakfast in the mornings is a must...the views, the coffee, the eggs Benedict, what a perfect way to start the day. Will definitely be returning many more times...
Nothing like having the pool to yourself.
Early morning magical sun rise.
Smashed avo...done to perfection.

The team were wonderful, friendly helpful and efficient, particularly the waiter who greeted and seated us for dinner and on duty the next morning at breakfast. She was happy and clearly loves her job. Sadly, we didn’t grab her name. We came to unwind and rest but sadly found our room overlooking the pool a little too noisy and lacking privacy. The location is wonderful; however, I feel this hotel is hugely overpriced compared to other hotels in the same bracket.
