Nice quiet property with nice views and pool, but not convenient.
Pretty far from everything, need to rely on a shuttle to get to your room as the property sits on a steep hillside, the shuttle doesn't run if it's raining and need to walk up a tone of stairs

The lift was out of service and had apparently been out of service for sometime. Bit of a hike to the beach. Food and staff were great.

Awful location and service
Service was terrible. Rude manager. We requested a room with king bed but upon arrival she told us they do not have any rooms (the type we booked) with king bed and that hotels.com is to blame for this misinformation, when in reality they input the information.
Location is terrible, 15 minute down hill walk (then uphill back) to get anywhere. Beach far, and cart from hotel only every hour and must schedule pickip (which they were late for).

Lots of stairs, so not ideal for elderly or less mobile people.
Brilliant swimming pool. Great staff, very helpful.
This is the second time i have stayed and will stay here again.
Was a little disappointed that they only do the buffet breakfast during peak season.
Would be great if they could get the lift working again instead of using Golf carts.
Over all a very good resort that i will use again.
4 out of 5.

Beautiful property!
The only downside to our trip was the pool. It was too dirty to swim in. They cleaned it while we were there and then it was ok.
This resort is on a mountain, which makes for great views, but might be a tough walk for some. They offer shuttles, every half hour, so a person can come and go easily.
I’d stay again!

Excellent Pool
Stayed here for a few days with some friends, everything was good, the pool and the view was excellent. We all had a great time there, although the walk to the beach and hotel was tough.

Nice Hotel, lots of stairs
Stayed here for 3 nights on top level. Has everything you need with a nice view. About a 10 min walk from the main street and 20 from the beach. All in all is a great hotel, but don't book if you don't like walking or stairs.

Mediocre
Never forget being charged for a broken glass, seems revenue focused. It is obvious that there is a lack of handrails from the reception area to the elevator. I fell on the last step from reception to the road. There was construction in reception.oh yes,prepare yourself the endless stairs,

Calm and comfortable hotel
To some who is looking for a calm place and beautiful scenery to relax, this is definitely a choice. To those who just want to play and eat and see hotel as a place to wash and sleep, this hotel is just too far away from the city center. I am the former one, so this hotel is excellent to me.
Even the hotel inside is quiet. Each guest could enjoy a quiet time in the pool or simply walk around. The staffs are friendly and helpful to ensure you have a calm holiday.

Very quiet nice resort close to the busy beach
We had a very lovely stay at the hotel. The staff are extremely friendly. I told them I need to exchange some money on my arrival and they drove me down the hill to find the money exchange place. There is free shuttle every haif hour to the beach but you can walk as well. It's only 10-15 min walk.
The room was spacious and swimming pool so nice looking over the city. The beach is less crowed than Patoon beach but very good water.
