United States of AmericaLocation and views were outstanding as was the staff and food.
United States of AmericaWe stayed for six nights in a two bedroom apartment equipped with a kitchen and good size bathroom plus a spacious living room. Breakfast and dinner at the restaurant were great. Beds were comfortable and WiFi connection was very good. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The resort has two pools and sufficient number of lounges and umbrellas. It is very close to a beach on the ocean. Nicely landscaped with great views of the ocean from the resort.
United States of AmericaThe hotel's cliffs lead to the Bengali Caves..what a spectuclar treat to go to the caves on foot
