Reviews and Ratings
Staying at the hotel was an absolute delight. The room I was upgraded to provided the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of whiskey while overlooking the sea and pools. The rooms were spacious, cleaned daily, and offered stunning ocean views. The service from the hotel staff, including the restaurant team, was exceptional and accommodating. The location of the hotel, perched on the ocean cliffs, was truly the highlight of my stay, offering exceptional views. The dining experience was excellent, with a variety of delicious options available. Overall, a wonderful experience with great value for money.
The hotel rooms were fine, but not exceptional and above a popular bar/restaurant. They were OK and quite comfortable, but with only one chair and a small view to a building construction. The service was so friendly and the staff were helpful and kind. The location was great, near the beach with amazing views and also super close to the centre of the village. The dining experience was very nice across the Sunset Bamboo Bar, which was still serving lunch but was like a hectic self-service canteen. The hotel offers a number of facilities.
I was thrilled with the location of the hotel, right by the sea and within easy reach of charming cafes. The rooms, though above a lively bar, offered a great view of the sea, making them a fantastic spot for enjoying a cozy read with a whiskey. While the service showed good intentions, there were slips in replenishing items promptly. The hotel was perfectly situated for beach walks and a quick visit to the local eateries. The dining experience, with delightfully large servings to cater to various tastes, was a highlight, despite being placed near a lunch-serving location. Overall, my stay was pleasant, with convenient facilities and a wonderful dining experience.
I had an amazing time at the hotel, especially with its friendly staff, rooms with ocean views and balcony, and great location near the beach. The only downside was the dining options being a bit limited.
I found the hotel to have plenty of room with a sea view, but the check-in process was delayed until after 4.00 without much information given about the facilities or local area. The reception acknowledged that these rooms are seldom used, leading to a damp and musty smell. Service was generally pleasant, but staff struggled with replenishing items promptly. The location is superb, offering stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and easy access to the beach and cafes. The dining experience was extensive but felt like a self-service canteen with subpar quality. Overall, the hotel has its strengths and weaknesses, making it a mixed experience.
