We had a great stay at the hotel, enjoying a spacious and clean bungalow with breathtaking views of the ocean. The staff were welcoming, but dining service was slow, and the noise from neighboring guests was a bit bothersome at times. The location was stunning, but it's quite a trek to town, so having a car is essential. Overall, it's a lovely place but could use some tweaks to improve the overall experience.
