Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious and luxurious, with a nicely stocked fireplace that added a cozy touch. The breathtaking sea-view from the room was truly mesmerizing. The Koehler rainfall shower in the bathroom was a delightful experience. The service was top-notch, especially at the reception desk where the staff was incredibly helpful and attentive. The location, nestled at the foot of the mountains with lush green landscaping, provided a tranquil and picturesque setting. The dining experience with an amazing view was simply unforgettable. I enjoyed every moment spent at the facilities, particularly the beautiful pool area. My only minor concern was the price, which I felt was a bit on the higher side, but given the value for money in the overall experience, it was worth it.
The hotel is an absolute gem, tucked amidst lush greenery at the base of the mountains with soothing ocean sounds nearby. The rooms are cozy with delightful sea views and a charming fireplace, but the steep hill can be a bit challenging to navigate. The service is exceptional, offering a plethora of convenient amenities like a welcome drink and shuttle services. A relaxing escape that perfectly balances nature and comfort.
