Stayed 10 nights

Das Zimmer (Elephant) hat Blick zum Garten in Richtung Norden. Nicht wirklich schön! Den Ozean kann man vom Zimmer aus nicht sehen. Pool zentral mit schönen Sitzgelegenheiten aussen herum. Achtung! Bei Stornierung wird eine Gebühr verlangt. Steht laut Gastgeberin angeblich im Kleingedruckten. Ist m.E. entgegen den hotel.com Richtlinien. Frühstück gibt es erst ab 0800 Uhr. Absprachen für Bereitstellung des Frühstücks davor, funktionierte bei uns einmal nicht. Untschuldigung = Fehlanzeige. Angekündigter Bettwäschetausch nach 5 Tagen nicht erfolgt. Aber: wunderschöne, große Anlage mit Parkplatz im umzäunten Gelände.
