10/10 Excellent
"The ocean views are totally worth the steep driveway to get to your apartment. We loved the infinity pool and utilised the gym. The staff were so friendly and welcomed us warmly. The location to town was perfect and the rooms were so spacious and clean. We highly recommend staying. If a steep walk up the driveway doesnt suit you, there are plenty of taxis available but you may still have to walk stairs to get to your apartment."
