We stayed here for three nights. The rooms were clean and the staff was very nice. The restaurant onsite had good food, and there’s a cafe as well for early coffee drinkers! We had a great view in our room with the balcony. We would definitely stay here again.

Making reservations, we of course thought we would be in the hotel, instead we were escorted to the Owners resident side of the hotel, where they had a pool in front of our view of the bay and the pool area was quite noisy.
