Tal United States of America

The glass tree house is the most unique accommodation I have ever stayed in! My expectations were exceeded by how incredible the view is from the room. The water is RIGHT THERE. The restaurant on site is delicious!!! The beach near by is rocky but the water is shallow and sandy -- so lovely to swim in! The views are spectacular.

Alia Canada

The location was incredible!!! My room was unbelievable! One of my favorite places I’ve ever stayed.

Abigail United States of America

The location was great. The staff is super friendly. If they had more breakfast options would have been great.
