    First room we booked online wasn't what we were expecting. Luckily we managed to upgrade to the master suite and this was something to remember. Fabulous views and very clean and comfortable beds.

    The pools were lovely, the sauna and steam room great! The breakfast was good. The hotel is like a mini-oasis!! It is within walking distance of the black sand / pebble beach. It is close to car / scooter rental - which is very convenient. ...
