10.0

Well planned out, excellent views, quiet location with natural sounds from waves and birds. Made to feel very welcome right from arrival to departure. We were looking for somewhere special for our 50th anniversary so pleased we found “The Cliffs “.We were greeted by Ton and had a vase of flowers prepared by Larissa in our room. As for our meal we felt it was prepared with love, beautifully presented with a lovely view to with it, a very special experience. Memories made, not just guests but felt like friends sharing our special occasion. Thanks for the extra flowers and romantic table setting and 🥂.

"Beautiful stay in a peaceful location."

10.0

Loved the location, very comfortable bed. The owners were very nice and helpful. Large bathtub, which is rare in a rental.

Tiny things I noticed that did not reduce my overall excellent rating: The walls were a little thin, and so sound traveled between rooms. There were no extra blankets in the room, but some were available upon request. Also, my universal outlet adapter would not fit in most of the outlets (mine is one of those big, boxy things), so if you are coming from overseas you would want to bring a smaller adapter. Ton, the owner, was right there to help with these and anything else I needed.
