Short stay
Good stay, free Wi-Fi for more than 2hours would be good as you can’t split the slot so lose it if you only use it for 20 minutes!

A relaxing overnight stay
We stayed in a suite and the room was perfect - spacious, clean, comfy, tastefully decorated. Large balcony with huge bath tub and relaxing couch and amazing ocean views.
Overall a very relaxing overnight stay

Absolutely stunning Hotel. Staff are friendly and professional. The room was clean, included everything needed. The Japanese restaurant wasn’t open the night I stayed but hopefully next visit I can try it.

Great but a couple of niggles
A really lovely, new hotel with wonderful balconies, nice linens, great pool area etc. My 2 small criticisms are
- I couldn’t find any water stations around hotel
- no coffee machine in room - in 2024 I see a coffee machine as a basic hotel amenity particularly when no onsite coffee venue.
Would stay again but a couple of simple improvements would make it exceptional
