Wendy

Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Disliked: Staff & service

Great view. Ordinary service.

Despite receiving an email stating that the bar and restaurant were open until 8pm, arrived at 6.30pm to find both closed and no body at reception. Very disappointed after a long drive to have to then go in search of an evening meal. A text had been sent advising that the key would be in our room door, which it was. Room as advertised, with a great view, however despite being no smoking it appears this does not extend to the balconies and meant we needed to keep the door closed to avoid the smell.

Beautiful area and beach. Seems like every room either has a view of the pool or ocean with the sunset. No wifi, no cleaner, and not perfectly clean so loses points. Otherwise everything you need, in a beautiful location.
