Staying at this hotel was a great experience overall. The location is simply amazing, perched on a cliff with breathtaking ocean views. The rooms were clean and spacious, but the service could use a bit of improvement. Dining was a mixed bag—while the breakfast had its moments, I wish there were more variety. Still, for the views and location, it’s a solid choice.

The views from the room were stunning, especially from the balcony overlooking the sea. Although the check-in process started a bit rocky with a wait for our room, it turned out to be a very positive experience due to the lovely facilities and wonderful swimming pool.

This hotel offers a great experience for those looking to enjoy a beach holiday with nearby amenities. The cleanliness and spaciousness of the rooms were wonderful, making our stay comfortable. However, it wasn’t a family-friendly environment as it claimed, which made things challenging with a stroller. Service at the bar could use improvement—the staff were often unfriendly, which was disappointing given the overall atmosphere of the hotel.

I had a great first time stay at this hotel! The views from my room were simply stunning, and the overall cleanliness of the premises was impressive. However, the initial check-in process could have been smoother, which was a bit frustrating.
