Nice nature environment and easy walk from the property to The Bluff. We had a nice room with the ocean view, but would be better without the two unattractive palm trees restricting the view.

I was told because I booked this though an external website. I was given a room without a view and pretty 2nd rate at that. Bed uncomfortable.

Liked: Cleanliness
When my husband checked in the room he was given was excellent then the airconditioning didn't work and they moved us to a room that was in significantly poorer condition. Laminate bubbings up from kitchen cabinets ect. I have a history in the hotel industry and was not impressed, usually if you inconvenience a guest you upgrade them not down grade and the property was far from booked out. Whilst they give you plenty of shower gel not providing a shower cap or having one available for purchase was also very annoying.
