Reviews and Ratings
I had a lovely stay at this boutique hotel. The rooms were spacious and offered breathtaking views of the sea, making my mornings feel special. The staff was exceptionally kind and attentive, which made the experience even more delightful. However, the location is a bit distant from the main attractions, so be prepared to use a car or ride-sharing service. The dining options were great but could use a touch more variety to truly shine.
This boutique hotel offers a truly unique experience with its stunning ocean views and spacious, well-decorated rooms that add a touch of luxury. The staff was incredibly welcoming, making my stay even more enjoyable. However, the dining options, while good, could be more varied, and the location isn't within walking distance to central attractions, which might be inconvenient for some. Overall, I found it to be a good value for a short getaway.

I had a wonderful stay at this boutique hotel with stunning views that made my experience quite special. The rooms were spacious and had everything I needed, plus the service was exceptional and accommodating throughout my visit. On the downside, while the dining was lovely, I felt there could have been a wider range of options. The location was great for exploring local attractions but could benefit from a more reliable power supply.
