A lovely experience
We love this Hotel. The renovation was excellent. I would have given 5 stars except that our room was directly under the lounge area and the movement of chairs above us was very loud. We were woken up early in the morning by chairs/tables scraping along the floor upstairs. Maybe simple pads under the chair and table legs would be a simple solution.The staff took note of this problem. The staff was friendly and professional. We loved the fire pits and choices of seating areas along the walkway. Of course the view is fabulous. The restaurant with its amazing view and excellent food is very special. We recommend this hotel and will stay again,( just in a different room!)

Check in was extremely slow as only one staff member was dealing with all the arrivals. Our room was not as expected - overlooking the car park, dark and small. Reception (eventually) changed our room to an ocean view room - for which we paid a bit more. All other staff were excellent and the ambiance of the hotel was beachy, relaxed and pleasant. Lobby area overlooking the beach and bay was gorgeous.
