I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The location was stunning, set in a beautiful semi-tropical garden with magnificent views from the edge of the cliff. The service was top-notch, with staff going above and beyond to ensure a wonderful experience. The dining was delicious, especially the eggs benedict sauce. However, the rooms, despite having twin beds and a walk-in shower, could use some updating. The facilities were great, but a bit more attention to detail would elevate the experience even further.
