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.

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.

The views were amazingly, the bed was very comfy with excellant quality sheets. Would have liked bath sheets though rather than bath towels. Will definitely be back
