Excellent design of the hotel and all details. Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. The hotel is about 20 minutes walk from the closest beach. Self parking and very easy. There is outdoor jacuzzi to relax in the complex. Staff are friendly. There are outside restaurants about 30 minute walk away.

The hotel has a nice setting and some good features, but there are areas that could be improved to make the stay more comfortable. Garbage around the property wasn’t always picked up promptly, and the lounge was only available if you purchased food or drinks from the restaurants, which felt limiting at times. Some rooms didn’t have air conditioning, and the water station at the entrance wasn’t consistently refilled. The firepit was only lit if you asked, and coffee wasn’t automatically provided in the rooms, though staff were helpful once you requested it. For the price of the rooms, the value just doesn’t quite match what you receive. With some extra attention to these details, the overall experience could feel much more worthwhile.

Poor water pressure, awful furniture in the room and a wooden bed base too big for the mattress so I walked into it a number of times and ended up with a bleeding leg at 2am on my way back from the bathroom. I expected a much better quality room at $800 per night. Staff were great but room was a total disappointment. And $20 for a glass of house white??? Will not recommend to anyone.
