10/10 Exceptional

The most amazing hotel. Surroundings are just perfect and there is that little bit of quirkiness! Check-in was faultless. Six girls in adjoining rooms. Rooms was absolutely fine. Love the style of the bunk beds. Hotel itself is just perfect. Lovely pool, very close to town and evenings in the bar area are fantastic. Breakfast was really good too - loads of variety. We had the BEST time and will definitely be returning.

Nice hotel

The hotel was very nice. Rooms are quite sufficient. The only negative is that it was in the high 80’s and low 90’s during our stay and the room was very hot! We had trouble sleeping due to the heat. Staff were all very kind and friendly. Great location! And it was very clean!
Jennie, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Stayed for four days in July. The breakfast, bar and staff are great. Reception is very helpful. The views are fabulous. The room was very hot at night as there is no air conditioning and I thought the way to the pool via the shower area was probably a bit risky regards slips on the wet floor. The hotel is in a perfect location and overall very nice and I’d stay here again for sure.
Caroline, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was great! The vibe, the decor, areas within the property. Breakfast a must have. The minus is the shower, small, very small, but not enough to change my opinion that is a place to stay.
Marcelo, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Hotel would appeal to a younger crowd. It definitely needs an upgrade. Although I knew there was no aircon didn’t expect it to be so noisy every night. Good location
D T, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is a beautiful property and a very good location with interesting and appealing interior design. There seems to be a lot of activities going on throughout this large resort hotel. However the staff we're less than accommodating on check-in and made us wait until 4:00 p.m. when we were pretty certain that rooms were available sooner despite our Platinum status with Expedia. The breakfast buffet was good. Also we had a bit of construction noise nearby but overall a great stay
