9/10 Wonderful! (428 reviews)
The room itself was nice and had a great see view. The hotel is advertised as two connected properties with spa amenities but in reality they are pretty disjointed and quite a bit of walk from each other. The spa reservation system is not great because there is no online way to reserve a massage ...

We used public transport so you need to work out the buses that pass the door unless you don't mind walking. It's about a 25 minute walk to the airport from the property. ...

Visited by chance but fell in love with the gorgeous city. Lots of enchanting Christmas decoration around a church and main square. Great restaurants/shops. Amazing boardwalk. Should see the mosaic art on boardwalk and great pebble/stone beach.
