9.8/10 Exceptional! (28 reviews)

The location is perfect with beach, bars, restaurant and shopping all in easy walking distance. The view from the hotel are immaculate up along the entire coast. The staff were helpful, friendly and proactive. We accidentally left our laptop and iPads in the room safe on check out but we received a call to let us know this had happened and arrangement were made for us to pick them up conveniently. The hotel itself is virtually brand new and is excellent value for money. Would not hesitate to stay there again

A beautiful hotel with exceptional service. We really enjoyed all aspects of your hotel. We took advantage of the pool and sauna. Our traveling bodies needed the extra care.
