I couldn't have asked for a better location - the hotel sits just above the ocean and offers breathtaking views. The rooms are cozy with the most comfortable beds and amazing mountain vistas. The showers were top-notch, and having a balcony was a lovely touch. However, the price could be a bit high for some visitors considering the value offered.

This hotel has really good showers with a mountain view and a good bed. The balcony was a nice touch, but some rooms faced a bad restaurant. The service was top-notch, from receptionists speaking excellent English and offering late check-out to friendly maids. The location is just above the ocean, close to everything, and surrounded by lovely restaurants, even though one not-so-great restaurant is nearby. The dining options were excellent, especially for an espresso and an octopus millefeuille. The facilities were modern and convenient, making the stay enjoyable.
