the first night was not good at all. i was told there would be a wait at big beach restaurant and bar but was not allowed to wait at the bar for a drink. then i was told i could sit on the terrace, but i was ignored by staff. after asking to speak to a manager and waiting another 15 minutes, i left.. i found the response from her rude.

expansive balcony sunrise view sunset view soaking tub

i loved the expansive balcony with sunrise and sunset views. hot showers and a soaking tub were in the immense bathroom. fireplaces in the living room and bedroom added extra warmth.

Then after we booked a month later, there was an additional charge to my credit card. it was before our stay, though, so i got it sorted.

Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

dark kitchen uncomfortable couch

The lack of sufficient lighting in the kitchen area made it difficult to prepare coffee. I had to use my phone's flashlight near the sink. The couch was not comfortable for sitting, so using a laptop was awkward. These issues impacted the functionality of the room.

The bathroom was large. It featured a separate soaker tub. The room included a full couch and a king size bed. The public rooms had lovely views of the ocean.

I arrived late in the day, being very tired. I was told there would be at least a 45 minute wait for a table. I asked if I could have a drink from the bar. I was told no:.
