Our family had a great time at one of the villa with very nice view. The villa we were staying at is perfect for a family with 3 generations of five people in total. Room is clean, staff is super nice and the restaurant on site is also good.

Older rooms that are spacious and have all the items you would want. Jacuzzi tubs outdated and loud. Neighbors stomping was a bit irritating. The property is beautiful and the view from the resturant amazing. We watched the sun sink into the ocean just beyond the waves crashing against the rocks. It was the highlight of the stay!

Amazing time here . So many great views . I'm pretty sure you can see the ocean from almost any room . Amazingly clean . Given wine or champagne while waiting to check in . Staff was very friendly and down to earth . Heads up the fire place is old school so think of a fire starter or Duralog if you don't know how to get a fire going . A sauna or steam room would top this place off as perfect .

this hotel is awesome! the rooms are very spacious and open, with great views! we came as a big group and having a small kitchen was really helpful. The surrounding area of the rooms is also gorgeous. If you decide to stay in the hotel half the day, you will enjoy it! we also made bonfires every night and had a blast. The restaurant available is also very convenient with nice views.
