We loved our stay here. Fantastic view. Breakfast was excellent. Lots of selection. Cocktails were awesome. So easy to stroll into town but always so happy to get back to our room. Comfy King size bed. I would definitely stay here again. Luz is a great little place.

The property and staff were excellent, the breakfast had plenty of choice and everything was well presented and fresh. The room was clean and air, views from the balcony were excellent. However the bathroom has obviously been used for a disabled person previously and although very clean was in need to some TLC. On the way to the property there is a lot of development ongoing, but once inside this was not obtrusive.
