The room was fantastic. The view is breathtaking of course. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming. It was super quiet aside from the roar of the ocean in the heads which we fell asleep to every night. The food is very good too. All in all a very very enjoyable stay. Thank you.

This was an all around amazing experience. We stayed in the whale suite which had amazing views of ocean and cliff sides. We saw a pod of dolphins before dinner. Dinner was made there by an excellent chef. Highly recommend staying here.

Great to be back at the beautiful venue after 6 years. However the venue needs to maintain an ever doing upgrade and maintenance aa the location and rooms - which will be torn and worn after the years. Another issue - it suits better to have fresh flowers in the restaurant - than wethered leaves and flowers, as the hotel is a 5 star boutique hotel..

Everything was great. The food was really fantastic. The viewpoint room is advertised on Hotels.com as having a king sized bed. The bed in that room is not a king size but much smaller. We were moved to another room with a less spectacular view but we still had a great time.
