The pool is excellent the beachfront is nice and the rooms are decent especially the shower. Our room was not cleaned once during a 3-day stay and the breakfast while free is of poor quality. We made several requests of the staff and they were able to fulfill some of those.

Is a beautiful place indeed the nature is breath taking, but few misses like the internet signal didn't reach oor room and the place is in a remote area so no internet also. Plus the 50 dollars per day for a dog a bit expensive. The rest amazing, friendly staff great views great food o recommend it

Un goût de trop peu

En ne restant qu'une nuit nous n'avons pas pu apprécier tout le potentiel de l'établissement. Toutefois nous avons bien profité de la piscine d'eau thermale bien chaude pour se détendre. Le restaurant est correct mais sans plus les portions sont un peu trop grandes. Les chambres sont spacieuses, la literie très confortable. Le site est magnifique. Nous aurions aimé rester plus longtemps.
