Didn’t expect that there’s No lift (elevator) facilities. Felt sorry for the staff helping with the luggage. But the food is superb especially breakfast. Staff are friendly, approachable and helpful. Beautiful seaside view. Fresh and clean around the hotel area; nature at its best around the hotel area.

I had read all of the negative reviews about the property. In the room we were given the Aircon barely worked. This had been stated in the reviews I had read. We didn't spend time in the room, except at night so we asked for a fan and one was provided. I work in property management and know what to expect. It is very sad to see such a fantastic property, that has been severely mismanaged. Aircon's, building maintenance, and swimming pool has had no effort placed in these areas. The grounds were immaculate, but, the buildings and amenities is where the money is needed. Under proper management, this place should stay near full!
