Reviews based on Nature
Great hotel with acces to beach and nature walks. Breakfast was great. Service was very friendly and they went the extra mile to help. Loved the valet parking.
Stayed here for a business conference, and added on a couple of days for leisure, and so glad I did! The bed linens are very nice, room update and modern. There is night light and enough plugs for devices, except by the bedside. The service is friendly. Overall environment is very relaxing, with lots of comfortable seating areas: inside, shaded outdoors, and full outdoors, including poolside of course. There are at least three outdoor pools and one indoor. Access to the beach is available through paved trail going down the hill. The grounds are beautiful and fragrant with flowers and herbs. The breakfast is fulsome. The only imperfect is limited dining choices: at lunch, only the poolside restaurant is available; and dinner is only available in buffet form. There are a few casual eateries and pizzeria right outside the hotel as options.
