“Lovely staff. Marc was incredibly welcoming. Cheap drinks”
Lovely staff. Good for a short stay but the amount of stairs make it really tough to want to spend more than a day there to be honest

“Loved it!”
I was told there are 250 steps from the top (reception area) to the bottom. There's no elevator or escalator so this could be a deterrent for people who have physical and/or health difficulties. But I loved my stay because for some peculiar reason, I was the only guest in the resort during my 2-day/night stay. Needless to say, I got to know the bartenders/staff well. Very friendly people!

“Super sad and disappointing. Those stairs come in my nightmares. Calf still paining.”
The view was ok. I can't comment much since we reached during sunset and left before sunrise. Lot of lizards everywhere and I was very uncomfortable.

“Pleasant Stay”
Secluded bottom of a cliff hotel, a very quaint and quirky property. Pool at our disposal, ocean activities such as kayaking and swimming when the tide was right, room was spacious and clean, staff were friendly and helpful with what was available. My super thanks to the friendly staff who looked after myself and family.

“Amazing view. Crazy insane stairs”
The infinite pool and the view of the sea from literally everywhere. We got to see the sunrise and it was beautiful, totally amazing. The vibe is chill to go and have a relaxing day in the beach and in the pool. The food served in the hotel was pretty decent with a good variety.

“Family escapade review”
The place is clean and peaceful, just right for our family vacation. Our room was more than enough to accommodate 6 person and location from the beach and the pool was a factor. Staff were great, very much accommodating and friendly.
