Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the spacious rooms, some featuring wonderful patios, alongside the stunning natural surroundings, including direct access to Falesia beach and its breathtaking cliffs. The hotel offers a variety of pools, with a separate adults-only area and dedicated spaces for children to enjoy. While the majority of guests find exceptional value, some have noted that certain services, such as those in the wellness area, can be considered rather expensive. it seems many guests enjoy starting their stay with welcome gifts of wine, water and chocolate in their rooms, and the buffet restaurant with live cooking is also a favorite.

The pool area had a clean and refreshing swimming pool. Staff were attentive and promptly addressed requests. The breakfast buffet included a wide variety of options and fresh juices. Access to the nearby beach was convenient and provided a beautiful view.
The bathroom's sliding glass door offered minimal privacy. The TV system was outdated and lacked smart features. The room's color scheme was not very luxurious. There were service delays during check-in.

The breakfast was very varied with fresh options and friendly staff. The grounds were well-kept with lovely decor throughout. The location was fabulous. It was quiet for enjoying the cliff-side walking. The resort grounds are expansive. The beach is lovely.
I noticed that the poolside loungers were often occupied early. Many chairs had towels on them all day. Few people used them.
