I had a wonderful stay at this hotel nestled on a hilltop with stunning sea views. The peaceful surroundings made it a great place to unwind, although the nightlife in the area is quite limited. The dining options, while generally tasty, could use some improvements, especially in terms of food availability during the day. Overall, the hotel offered a relaxing atmosphere, just be prepared to rent a car to explore the local area.

This hotel has stunning views from its hillside location, making it a great place for relaxation. The rooms are clean and the entertainment staff is engaging and adds fun to the stay.

During my stay, I really appreciated the breathtaking sea views that this hotel has to offer, along with the clean and spacious room that provided a great escape. The staff, while polite, could improve their responsiveness, and I found the dining options rather disappointing with limited variety. The location is quite remote, requiring a car to access nearby attractions, so be prepared for winding roads. Overall, the hotel is a beautiful setting but could benefit from better dining experiences and improved service.

I had a lovely time at this hotel, thanks to the breathtaking sea views and the beautiful infinity pool. The staff was incredibly accommodating, which made our stay enjoyable. However, the dining could use improvement, as the breakfast options were repetitive and the seafood at dinner was underwhelming. The location is a bit isolated, so a car is essential for exploring the area, but it offers spectacular sunsets that are worth it.
