Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers stunning views of the seaside from the single bed rooms, although the breakfast could be better. The management was rude but the housekeeping service was top-notch! The location is on a hill adjacent to an upmarket restaurant and a secluded beach. The delicious salads stood out in the dining experience.
Stunning views from the hotel with breakfast service and a seaside view. The management could be more organized, and housekeeping could improve, but the welcome drink was a nice touch. The location on top of a hill overlooking the ocean is breathtaking. The dining experience, although lacking in variety, offered delicious guava jam. Facilities are satisfactory, but Wi-Fi should be included in the price.
