We came mid-week for my son's 4th B'day. Beautiful place perfectly location right next to beach very clean and maintained. Breakfast was great a few varieties. Only thing i would say there was no personal connection as i left a note in the booking saying it's my sons b'day. A simple acknowledgement to him would have been great. Been last year to another hotel and received a happy b'day sign in the room and a small cake. Nothing major would be back again tho.

We loved panoramic ocean views and huge bath tub with ocean views. and fantastic sun rise over the ocean views It was a wonderful getaway for us The sliding doors need a title TLC as one very hard to open and other a little hard to close so makes hissing wind sound if not closed The restaurant in hotel had lovely lunch and dinner options. Diggies close by on ocean as well as other cafes so close. The rock pools are so lovely very close by walkable.
