Very overpriced and underwhelming experience. We went here for our honeymoon and wouldn’t recommend as a “honeymoon” type of visit. Not even a free dessert that congratulated us. AC broke done last night and couldn’t be fixed. Kitchen staff and breakfast was the only good thing. But otherwise this hotel categorizes itself as luxury but I wouldn’t agree with it. We don’t usually travel luxury either and aren’t high maintenance but this hotel missed the mark. The extra level of care and service was lacking to make this luxury.

Beautiful property with a walkway to the beach down a hill. Staff is very nice and accommodating. Given a phone to communicate with staff and got responses within minutes. Our 2 bedroom B&G villa was nicely decorated with spacious living room/kitchenette/ dishes and microwave. Private hot tub on the deck, great A/C. Pool has ocean view. Gym has only a few weights, one treadmill, feels hot inside due to hot tub in same space. Breakfast was included and was excellent. Highly recommend; we loved our stay.

Stunning location high overlooking the Atlantic with stairs down to the beach. Immaculate property, attentive service and excellent food. We ate all breakfasts and 2 of 3 dinners on property. Everyone was extremely friendly proving advice, setting up tours, etc. they even provide an intern et-enabled iphone to easily contact the concierges (also to get some updates on activities, menus, etc. Too cold and windy during our April trip to swim in the pool or ocean, but the jacuzzi was nice. Rooms are stylish but a little cold (aesthetically) and some odd design choices with glass toilet “walls” and a large tub in the room blocking movement. Would have been better with a shower and more storage. Would love to see it when it is warmer!
