8/10 Good
"Very beautiful spot on the coast. Very boutique size which is nice and located centrally to many great shops and restaurants. The resort restaurant does not quite live up to a standard for this type of resort. Selections are extremely limited and not one shrimp option on the menu. Rather odd. Very quiet and comfortable rooms. Staff are excellent."
