  • Friendly, attentive staff (reception, pool, breakfast)
  • Beautiful pools and ocean views
  • Abundant wildlife sightings on property
  • Clean and well-maintained grounds

    Staff repeatedly described as friendly, attentive and welcoming (reception, pool bar, breakfast staff), with isolated incidents of early/poor communication from some staff members.

  • Amenities9.0

    Strong amenities: impressive pools, pool bar service, beach access, and pet-friendly options; some guests noted the hilly site (cart available) and limited/tight parking.

    Breakfast buffet and many dishes received praise and the restaurant offers a good wine selection; some noted limited breakfast variety, an underwhelming sirloin, and bar cocktails could improve.

    Rooms are spacious and comfortable for many guests, but some mentioned uncomfortable beds/pillows and disturbances from in-room work or housekeeping.

    Generally good experience but a few guests felt the price could be improved or that value was mixed given occasional service/parking issues.
