The ocean was visible on the horizon from our room with clear views out into the sea beyond. Beautiful - real - plants hung over the edges of all the balconies, cascading down to create an indoor green space and lovely ambience. The design of this Hotel is in the round so that each room has an outward facing balcony accessible from the room itself & this adds another element. Parking was available within the hotel parking area and close to exits. Overall we had a peaceful stay and would not hesitate to return again.

The elevator nearest the rear parking lot was not working. It was required to walk back to the reception area to use that elevator. The room was clean and I thought a good size. The front door does not self close fully. The door will still be open enough so it doesn’t not lock. No key required to open the door. When using the shower I had a lot of water leak onto the floor. The shower screen on the bathtub is on hinges. Nice but if it’s not exactly in the right spot, water on the floor. This was probably me.
