"Overpriced Motel with a beautiful view"

6.0

The views from the walkway and terraces was beautiful!

We paid over $600/night. It was worth $250 because of the view. The rooms were like very basic motel rooms. The night stands were scratched and dented. You got thin plastic glasses in plastic wrap in your room. The breakfast was like a Hampton in for 1/3 the price. There is no AC. You can open your window but there is an outdoor walkway 4 feet from your bed.

"I would recommend it highly. So much nicer than big corporate hotels."

10.0

Loved everything. Apart from great location, lovely big room, great view, nice fire for the cold evenings, we loved the special touch of the afternoon tea/ coffee in the lounge and the early evening wine and cheese, and also a great breakfast. The garden and terraces are fabulous.

All great

You could hear the ocean from the room and it also had an ocean view. Everything was very clean and well maintained. Several firepits with comfortable chairs. Beautiful grounds. Good breakfast included, also wine and cheese hour. Very relaxing!

"Somewhere between fair and good. For the price, I expected more."

7.0

Location and view were amazing. The room was alright.

Bed/pillows could be better. Room is very noisy from people passing right beside it. Sound insulation between units, especially the one above, is terrible. The curtains were all but transparent, giving us no privacy at all from people just passing by.
