EXCELLENT stay!

cute staffbeautiful groundsmosquito problems

I found the staff very cute. I loved the food in the restaurant, especially the cappuccino (it was the best EVER!). The grounds are beautiful. I REALLY want to return.

I had mosquito problems in my room. The hotel DID provide a vape machine. I was bitten several times at the breakfast and evening bar area, so I needed to apply mosquito spray on my hands and legs most of the time.

Location

9/10

The location offered fine mountain and ocean views. The views extended even to the private terrace when in a junior suite. It was SO very nice.

Rooms

The bathroom felt spacious and well-equipped. Breakfast each morning was lovely, providing fresh juice and pastries. Plenty was on offer. The gluten-free options were excellent, especially the freshly made bread.

Facilities

The pool area felt tranquil with plenty of space on the sunbeds. Amazing views were visible from the pool. Many snacks and drinks were available throughout the day. Some water sports were free, like paddle boarding.
