The hotel has stunning contemporary rooms with beautiful garden views and is really clean. The staff is super friendly and helpful, making the stay enjoyable. However, the location is a bit out of the way and requires a bit of a trek to reach the town and restaurants. Dining could be improved, as portions were on the smaller side, which left us a bit hungry after exploring the area.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel with its clean and cozy rooms, and the staff was incredibly friendly, helping us with everything we needed. However, the location felt a bit isolated, making it inconvenient to access nearby beaches and the town. The dining options were simple but could use a bit more variety, especially after a morning of hiking. Overall, it was a decent value for money, but some aspects could be improved for a perfect experience.
