When we arrived, our room had been damaged by a rock hitting the window and therefore were moved to a safer room immediately. When we were settled, the view was amazing, and all we wanted to do was spend time watching the ocean. If you are to stay here and watch the sunset, grab some cheese and a bottle of wine- nothing was more perfect. Everything about this place was perfect. Clean, friendly staff, delicious food, and great location.

Room was comfortable and enjoyable with the amazing view! To get around it is a bit awkward to have to rely on the golf buggies for pick up and drop off. Welcoming staff!

The property is beautiful with an incredible view from the chalet, very calming and peaceful. Breakfast was great but very understaffed in the restaurant at dinner. We waited a long time to be served and then to receive drinks and meals. Lots of tables needed to be cleared of dirty plates. Friendly and helpful people but clearly very understaffed.
Awesome holiday break away with amazing views and friendly staff. Very peaceful and good for the soul. Will gladly recommend this resort and will be making this my one-stop quick breakaway.
