::A lot of potential here but sadly currently falling short of the mark. + Benji was very friendly and you could see he was trying hard with what is a recent ownership. + We had the penthouse which was a huge room with great sea view. + Granola yoghurt should be a signature dish it was really tasty. - Room felt moist which is what I guess you get when you are near the sea but in other places we stayed at just as near to the water it wasn’t a problem - On both nights we had a peacock 🦚 making a lot of noise. However, it was the second night where we had less than an hours sleep all night after it perched on the roof making very loud mating call noises, scrambling around and wouldn’t move at all. We were told that if we’d called they would have come but we were not told they would be on hand 24/7 so again, an issue that we were made to feel was our fault despite us paying a lot for two nights. - No water on the evening or morning of our stay and we had to push for a resolution on this. My wife was told to check water herself (not what you expect when paying a fair amount for your stay in a hospitality environment). This was partly resolved by us using a different downstairs shower which did work (confusing why our room didn’t have water, others did vs the reason that a local pipe had stopped water to the area) but we had to push for this. - During our breakfast heard the owners arguing and ranting about us over our complaint about the peacock noise. Didn’t make it feel properly managed considering it had such a negative effect. - Buffet part of breakfast was similar to staying in a hostel. - Over priced for what it currently is. We had to really push for a resolution to the lack of water and noise. NB. Since staying we have been offered a free night on our next visit, however as this was a once in a lifetime holiday it feels a bit hollow from the owners and lacking understanding of circumstances when working in the hospitality industry. Perhaps when there has been more love spent on the place, the team is more polished and there is a less embittered attitude from one of the pair, then might be nicer for guests.

::Great views. Hearing the ocean is tranquil. If your looking for a holiday Breakaway I would recommend it. Especially as a stop over for one night.

::The place is nice and the beach views are amazing, but our room smelled very musty like the carpets have been left wet. I had to spray my perfume to make it bearable. The breakfast was pretty good though.

::Well situated, ideal setting. The place to be when you want to relax. Cannot go wrong by booking in here. The host or agent is really helpful & bends over backwards to please the guest. Will defiantly call again
