10/10 Exceptional! (2 reviews)

The property was so beautiful! I booked the king beach from room and I loved it. The room has a modern and beachy esthetics, it was spacious and has everything you'd need. The view from our balcony was breathtaking and hearing the waves coming in was so peaceful. The hotel grounds are well kept, the staff were very pleasant and helpful. Looking for a luxury get away, then this is the place to book, I promise you won't regret it. We'll definitely be coming back.
