    The room had a breathtaking ocean view from the private deck.

    The parking area was overly cramped, making it difficult to navigate.

    breathtaking views
    private deck
    jacuzzi
    limited parking

    The Penthouse Suite offers breathtaking views that are tough to beat, especially from its private deck. The jacuzzi adds a nice touch for relaxation after a long day in town.

    Climbing up the hill to access the venue is a bit of a workout, especially tricky when parking spaces are packed. The main pool, a shaded dip pool, lacks clarity about its accessibility, with the larger pool reserved only for top-floor guests. Renovations seem necessary. there are some dated furnishings and the bathroom had a few damp patches and small flies, though cleanliness overall is commendable.

    delicious breakfast
    outdoor pool
    strict breakfast hours

    We had a fantastic time enjoying the amazing views from the Penthouse Suite and the delicious breakfast each morning. The outdoor swimming pool and relaxing jacuzzi were perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. Just a heads up, breakfast orders could be a bit strict on timing, but it didn’t ruin our overall experience! 🏖️

    Birthday Bliss!

    I spent my bday here and wow, it was amazing! The room was super spacious and we got a free upgrade. The staff were the friendliest, laying out robes and chocolates each night. The heated bathroom floors were such a nice touch for the chilly weather. Only wish there was a bigger outdoor dining area, but overall, just delightful!
