I had a mix of experiences during my stay. The location is absolutely stunning with magnificent views, and the spa services were a real highlight. However, the room I had was dark and in need of maintenance, and the dining experience fell short with some issues in service and cleanliness. Nonetheless, the intimate setting and beautiful surroundings made it worthwhile.

I had high hopes for this hotel, but unfortunately, it was a huge letdown. While the spa services were fantastic and the staff there were lovely, the overall cleanliness and maintenance left much to be desired. The room I was initially given had dirty towels, and it took too long to handle maintenance issues. Dining options were lackluster with extremely slow service and unappetizing surprises. Overall, it did not live up to the luxury experience I was expecting.

We had a lovely week at the hotel, enjoying the stunning beach and comfortable atmosphere. While there were some maintenance issues in our room and a lack of complimentary water, the staff was genuinely friendly, and the meals were enjoyable. It would be great to see some improvements in room upkeep and more attention to detail in services.

I had a lovely week at this hotel, with comfortable amenities and a stunning beachside dining experience. The staff were friendly and helpful, making our stay enjoyable. However, the room was somewhat dark and in need of maintenance, and it was disappointing that complimentary water wasn't provided, especially given the location's guidance on tap water use.
