The hotel is old and requires an upgrade. I stayed at the beach front villa, it has a nice view though.

Stayed at the Nexus for 2 weeks. Room had everything we needed and was clean and tidy. Amazing view from our balcony, overlooking a glorious beach. Didnt use the golf course but it looked well maintained and set out. Used alot of the amenities without issue. Staff are so polite and very attentive. Would have liked more dining choice, although there is building work happening which may solve this. 35 munutes ftom city so. although you are in a secluded area, its easy enough to use shuttle/taxi and experience everything on offer there. Would definately visit again.
