This hotel is a true gem, offering modern and clean accommodations with breathtaking views and an impressive dining experience. The location is perfect, allowing you to enjoy the playful sea lions right outside your windows. While the facilities are mostly top-notch, some minor improvements could enhance the overall experience, such as better seating by the rooftop pool. Overall, it's a great value for an unforgettable stay on the island.

The rooms are spacious and clean, creating a relaxing atmosphere. The dining options were fantastic, although I wish there were even more unique breakfast choices. The service was top-notch, making our honeymoon truly memorable, but the construction noise from the terrace was a slight drawback.

My stay at this hotel was a great start to our vacation, thanks to the beautiful location right by the beach and the comfortable, clean rooms. I loved catching stunning sunsets every evening while enjoying the outdoor bar atmosphere. However, the spa facilities were not up to par, as there was only one therapist available, and the roof terrace area needed better furniture to enhance the experience.
