our Journal
Absolutely amazing hotel, all the staff went above and beyond to make our stay special. The food is incredible and the chef personally met us at the start of our trip to ask us what we like and accommodated for our taste. Definitely for those who like a boutique, laid back feel. I'd highly recommend you do the private dinner on the beach if you have the chance!
