Lovely location overlooking generous pool and private beach. We stayed in a cottage which was spotless and well maintained. The staff were marvelous and the restaurant manager was a delightful man. My wife had one treatment in the spa and enjoyed the early morning yoga sessions. A short stroll to downtown for promenading and people watching. A place to go back to as many do year after year.

This property is very expensive for its category and the location , it has a very beautiful beach view and the ambience is excellent , the staff is very courteous and service is real quick. Please note the check in timing is 2.00 PM and check out is 12.00 AM , in my booking the AGODA has mentioned 12.00 AM check in , so I have to agonisingly wait for my check in for 2 hours. In my view on a scale of 5 , I rate it @ 3.
