5/5 Excellent

Travelled with group
Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location is killer. It's on the water and next to the town so it's walking distance to most places. It is NOT next to a sandy beach but it has this wonderful natural rock pool/lagoon for swimming and is within a 2 miles of sandy beaches. The property rooms are a little dated but has everything you need, large and fantastic views. The pool and restaurant are great. The restaurant gets a bad rep for spotty service but they were fast friendly and the drinks/food were good. Check in took a long time but that was the only time we had an issue with time.
