Really good Boutique Experience!

amazing breakfastprivate beach

The staff were amazing. They ensured every need was met quickly. The breakfast was AMAZING!!! The location, nestled between two bays, is magnificent. I found the private beach cove an absolute treat to wake up to.

This was quite disturbing while sunbathing, which detracted from the otherwise peaceful atmosphere.

Facilities

The food was AMAZING, and the chef customized our dinner per our requests. Beverages were reasonably priced. There was a nice menu with several gluten-free options. The hotel prepared a surprise birthday cake, and decorated our breakfast table.
