Pros:

The location was spectacular and the staff lovely.

Cons:

The room was very stuffy and the hotel was quite noisy. With no air conditioning and the windows open as wide as possible (not enough) , then noise from the bar, restaurant and beach filtered in through the night - right into the middle of the night.

Fantastic view
Pros:

Ideally situated with fantastic views of the beach. Great surf bar outside adjacent to the beach and hotel.

Cons:

Could do with moderation. A bite run down looking. Investment in air conditioning or having access yo fans would be beneficial

Just the view
Pros:

Great view of the ocean from the room

Cons:

The bathroom wasn't cleaned properly, and had no ventilation so it became a "steam room" when I took a shower.
The room would need a renovation.

Es braucht keinen Satz: PERFEKT!
Pros:

Das Ambiente, die Tatsache das serviert wurde, deshalb kein Stau am Buffet. Am Frühstückstisch sitzen mit freiem Blick auf diese wunderbare Bucht, was will man mehr. Wir haben alle 3 Abende im Hotelrestaurant gegessen, das war jedesmal hervorragend.

Cons:

Uns hat alles gefallen, nichts was hätte besser sein müssen.

Pros:

Second time staying there this year and it's lived up to expectations.

Amazing staff, good food, comfortable room and a perfect night's sleep.

Cons:

The only thing I'd say is possibly get some new towels. Those in our bathroom were a little rough and frayed but clean.
