"Off the beaten path, but the beach views here are second to none. It's quiet, there's a shuttle into town and any store or restaurant will jail you anytime back to the hotel. Breakfast is good, staff friendly and nice. 10/10 would recommend. Will be back again!"

7.4 out of 10, Good, (13 reviews)
"The hotel is beautiful and the rooms are nice as is the pool. The building is not complete. The upstairs bar was not available. The menu is tiny and the food portions tiny. It is chronically understaffed. The breakfast was poor. We would not eat dinner there and bought more breakfast elsewhere. Coffee was rubbish. The wifi was hopeless to connect. Every day go to the office for a new code. Sometimes twice a day. No mention of cash only till departure checkout! No warning at all! Only one...
