The customer service at this place is top notch! It’s very clean and the main areas that you can sit and have a drink or visit is beautiful! This place isn’t walking distance from the town but it’s a quick taxi ride. I highly recommend this place.

Unique experience worth the splurge
Unique setting and experience. Not cheap but worth it for our one night in the area. Nice sized room with lots of complimentary drinks and snacks. Our view was pretty but you had to look out over the HVAC array, which detracted a bit from the beach and mountains (probably the only con we could think of). We ate at the hotel restaurant and had a wonderful meal well worth the price. Also a nice breakfast. The cliffs and beaches are nice to walk around but not much else in the immediate area.

Loved this hotel which lived up to it’s Relais & Châteaux membership. We were given an upgrade, looking out on to the beach. Delicious dinner on the terrace and breakfast in the restaurant. Made to feel so welcome.

This has got to be one of the best hotels we’ve stayed at. The views are incredible, the breakfast buffet is amazing and most of all the staff are one of the nicest people you’ll meet. They go above and beyond to make sure you’re well taken care of. Truly a 5 star experience and we’ll be sure to come back here in the future without a doubt.
