The hotel is about a 10 min walk from City Center and along the cliff Road Trail that goes around the bay. Again I can’t stress how great the staff was and for a boutique hotel, they...

"Most supportive, genuine staff! Excellent place, if we were staying longer would have explored the spa. Super short walk to see the water. Breakfast was delicious, cooked to order. Great towels and pillows. Bed was very firm, but more than I prefer. The place was pristine, very impressive. Staff got us booked on a whale watching boat ride the night before, allowed us to store luggage before we departed."
