I had an amazing time at the hotel. The location was perfect, offering unparalleled peaceful views of the water with lush vegetation and secluded cottages. The room I was in was towards the far end of the beach, providing a quiet and private atmosphere. The upgrade to a room with a plunge pool was a wonderful surprise, and the glazing offered an amazing ocean view. However, the light temperature display in the room could be bothersome for those who prefer complete darkness at night.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious and beautifully designed with great housekeeping and wonderful AC to cool off after a day in the sun. However, the temperature display in the room was too bright at night, which could be bothersome if you prefer a completely dark room. The small pool area is charming but be cautious on the stairs leading to it.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms are located in villas by the beach, providing all comforts and beautifully decorated.
