Love it!! The view was amazing, the room was very tidy, perfect little getaway for the night. The only downside was the parking within the facility, very tight.

On the wall, door bed side table, tv cabinet. Floor didn't look like was mopped for awhile. My feet gone black when walked on the floor barefoot. The room had excellent ocean view from the room and balcony and the location was great.

Front desk lady was brilliant very helpful and cheerful. Location of accommodation is brilliant, with amazing views, rooms look nice and comfortable. But unfortunately where it lost me was the bed was very hard and I don't mind a firmer mattress. Maybe it is just our room and others are better but I couldn't sleep on that bed for more then 1 night. Get better mattresses and I would definately come again.

The spa on the balcony lovely and the view is 5 star. However as it was my wifes birthday the night we were staying, I sent the hotel an email with a small request a few days prior. It's fine if they could not fulfil my request but I didn't even recieve a reply. We were also not informed that the restaurant was unavailable on the night we were staying. We found this out as we went to look at the menu. The young lady on reception at check in was quite distant and not very welcoming. To sum up. Room - adequate, Spa - lovely, View - Superb, Restaurant - unknown and Check staff- poor.

This property has fabulous views of the ocean and sea facing balconies in all rooms. It is quiet, peaceful and beautifully scenic. There are rocks and a mini beach at the foot of the small hill that the hotel rests upon and a public ocean baths about 50 metres down the road. Its a pleasant walk down to the town where there are lots of eating options. A great location and very comfortable, clean rooms. Hard to beat.
