We had the best time visiting - it was great to just sit by the pool and head down to the beach when we fancied it. The restaurant prices were expensive but ultimately for the convenience it was okay. We would come back again!

Lovely property, right on the beach. Not a private beach, but still beautiful. Accessible for walking along the cliffs. Not much nearby in terms of restaurants and shops. If you want to eat out most evenings be prepared to pay for taxis.

I would’ve loved if ingredients and allergies were displayed on the app to order food and on the cards for breakfast. Reallyyyyyy enjoyed the complimentary happy hour bottomless wine and the complimentary yoga/pilates classes. Private access to the beach was great, honestly no reason to leave! Cant wait to be back and will be posting on socials about it.

We were here for a week for our 10 year wedding anniversary. We let the hotel know before hand and they upgraded our room upon check in to a king size garden view. Beautiful room (162) and view of the moon on balcony at night. They left us pastries and a cute note in the room. We weren’t supposed to check in till 3pm but were able to at 12! 3 hours earlier!! We also got a late check out (3pm) complimentary. Hotel staff couldn’t do more to be friendly and see to every request. Breakfast was great but would be better if they served baked beans. The room cleaning team were amazing!Room service also fantastic we got travel adapters quickly and ice no problem! Made up your room every day and gave fresh towels. Special mention to Ana in the spa where I received the best couple massage (deep tissue) I’ve ever had in my life! My back has never felt so good. Loved our stay thank you so much!!
