The view from the room was very nice! i also really appreciated the baggage elevator. It saved us a ton of effort going up all those stairs. the staff were friendly and helpful, especially with our luggage. the room itself was nice with a big, comfy bed!

The climb up to the rooms was a challenge. I definitely didn't want to go up and down those stairs regularly.

The staff was very helpful, and a small cart transported our bags up all the stairs, so we did not have to carry them. The room was very nice. It was like staying in a hotel. The bed was big and comfy. we had a sofa in the room too.

There were many steps to climb to reach the top of the hill.

The bathroom received no cleaning . The refrigerator did not operate. I consider this unacceptable.

The room was spacious and comfortable. It included a sofa which was very nice. The view of the surrounding forest was pretty good.

The hotel was hard to find. There were no signs indicating where to go. The location was far from the main beach and the entrance was hidden.
