Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers beautiful views of the coast, hot tubs for relaxation, but the 'ocean view' rooms may not be worth the extra cost. The service is accommodating but may have limitations, and the location is peaceful with natural surroundings, though dining options are only available at the restaurant.
I had an amazing stay at the hotel with a breathtaking view of the mountains. The rooms were cozy and well-equipped, making my experience truly wonderful. However, opting for an 'ocean view' room seemed like a waste of money.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms featuring a great view of the ocean. The staff was friendly and accommodating, although there were some hiccups with service. The location was perfect, surrounded by stunning natural beauty, but the dining experience left something to be desired. Overall, a good value for the money spent.
I loved the unique design of the rooms, half underground with large windows providing a wonderful view. The service was top-notch, especially the receptive staff who went out of their way to fulfill our requests. The location was perfect for exploring various attractions, and the dining experience was a delight with a diverse range of dishes.
The hotel offers rooms with a beautiful design and an ocean view, complete with a bath tub and heating. However, there were some disappointments with service and pricing.
