Room was clean, comfortable and roomy (we had a room facing the ocean with a balcony), the breakfast food quality in the restaurant and service was definitely top tier.

We had a lovely king sea view room with a balcony overlooking the most stunning and quite mesmerising views. The bed was really comfortable and spacious unlike the bathroom which was tiny! The staff were friendly and helpful and made us very welcome. We had a lovely meal in the restaurant, again with that view! Breakfast menu was disappointing so we skipped that. The small pool was well kept and we welcomed a refreshing swim after our journey.
