Great hotel..! Love everything about it. Will definitely come back again...”

Gorgeous hotel 😍 Ok customer service. Cool room set up; I love how the rooms make you want to just chill there with a balcony garden chairs and table looking to the ocean; wide sliding door that creates a large room feel. Comfortable bed. Like the espresso machine, large modern bathtub and shower. Just amazing all round...it’s a pity we could only sty for limited days of our holiday. The only downs is that they could warm visitors of upcoming events hosted at the hotel. The throwers on the bed need a little cleaning.
