Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
View is stunning from the balcony but chairs on balcony aren't the type you can sit and relax in. Unfortunately beneath our balcony you have the outside cafe area which is a little noisy at times. Bed and amenities were wonderful especially spa bath.

Great spot, everything close by, within walking distance. Beach and ocean bath across the road. A microwave would not go a stray. No cooking facilities, only tea and coffee making facilities so eating out most of the time.
