Stunning, relaxing and revitalising
Pros:

This place is incredible, from the views and tranquility, to the pristine gardens and access to the lovely small beach.

Cons:

It’s not a major issue at all but the fact that there was no real indoor seating in the room, at a table, was a tiny bit unfortunate. There was only a ledge in the wall next to the small table but that was quite uncomfortable.
