The hotel offers stunning views and a very spacious layout, which is great for relaxation, and the friendly staff really enhances the experience. However, the dining options can become repetitive after a few days, and the cold pools may not suit everyone. Overall, it provides a solid getaway at a budget-friendly price.

The hotel is beautifully situated on a hillside offering breathtaking views of the bay. However, getting to town requires a bit of planning since it’s a distance away.

Overall, I had a lovely time at this hotel with its stunning sea views and spacious rooms. The friendly and accommodating staff, especially in the dining area, made for a pleasant experience. However, the dining options could use more variety, particularly for lunch and snacks, as they felt repetitive after a few days. The steep terrain can also be a challenge for some guests, which might not suit everyone.

My stay at the hotel was filled with ups and downs. The stunning views truly made my experience more enjoyable, and the variety of pools offered a nice escape. However, the service left much to be desired, with some very rude interactions and mismanagement during check-in. Dining options were plentiful, but the quality sometimes fell short, especially towards the end of the week. Overall, I appreciate the beautiful setting, but I wish the customer service matched the scenery.

Unfortunately, the rooms did not meet my expectations. Though I had booked a sea view room, I ended up with a view of houses instead. The atmosphere in the room felt very basic, and I encountered several maintenance issues during my stay.

Location

The location is stunning, with breathtaking views and a beautiful beach just a short walk away. However, being somewhat remote made it difficult to access local attractions without a car or taxi.
Dining

Dining options were diverse, but the quality of food was somewhat hit or miss. I enjoyed a lot of what was offered early in the week, but I was quite disappointed to find something unpleasant in my dessert on the last night.

The hotel is beautifully located on a cliff with breathtaking views, which made the experience truly special. The rooms are clean and comfortable but could use some upgrades. The dining experience was hit-or-miss, with the buffet lacking variety and freshness at times. While the service had its standout moments, some interactions left a lot to be desired. Overall, it's a lovely place for relaxation and enjoying the scenery but be prepared for a few hiccups along the way.
