The Lady who greeted us was so lovely we’d been travelling for hours and our room was ready so she let us in a little earlier than booked. The view from our room was mountains and ocean, couldn’t ask for more than that. The swimming pool was lovely as were our rooms. The rooms were spotless and very comfortable.

Nice spacious room and bathroom, comfy beds and pretty good view. Unfortunately we had to experience a fire drill, not too big of a deal though. Shower temperature kept fluctuating, and one of the face towels had makeup on it upon arrival.

Amazing location and views to die for. Staff were exceptional. Lighting in room was insufficient, one main light and lights above bed very bright. Needed option for muted lighting, bedside lamps perhaps. I do also find it irritating when I book for three people and the room has not been set up to account for an extra person re: towels etc. shouldn’t have to request extras.

New hotel with modern decor located on the beach with views from the upper floors. Unfortunately the downside to my stay was being allocated a room next to the lifts (noise) despite the hotel being almost empty (winter).
