Perfect location, but you pay for it. Good breakfast, friendly staff, nice pool, the view. Basic rooms, but clean and spacious. Garage for my motorbike at an acceptable price. We Will be back.
Great hotel with very Nice, clean rooms! And best of all was the hotel restaurant, nothing to complain about. The service was splendid and so was the food. Recommend recommend!!
This place is great. The views are spectacular and I think the location (near the end of the strip) is perfect. The hotel itself could use an upgrade but when you spend most of the time at the beach or hiking, the room isn't my first concern. I'd stay here again.
Good breakfast and nice rooms. Tennis court possibility. Salt wanter pool. Very nice view. Good service.
Loved the place... Remember to book sea view room... Excellent restaurant too
