Staying here was a wonderful experience overall. The property is perched on a beautiful cliff with stunning ocean views. The rooms are spacious, and having access to a full kitchen made our stay comfortable. However, we did notice a loud train nearby that interrupted our sleep at times. While the location is fantastic, it can get a bit crowded around the pool area, so it's best to snag a chair early.

This resort offers breathtaking ocean views and a peaceful atmosphere, making it a fantastic spot for a getaway. The rooms are nicely equipped with full kitchens, which adds a level of convenience during your stay. However, some areas feel a bit dated, and there were a few hiccups with cleanliness and maintenance. Overall, it's great value for money, especially with the lovely pool area and nearby beach access.

I had a great time at this resort, primarily due to its stunning cliffside location right by the ocean. The accommodations were dated but quite clean and comfortable, making it a suitable choice for our stay. We enjoyed the pool area too, although it was a bit small. The kitchen in our unit could use more utensils to make cooking easier, and I wish the toaster had worked perfectly. Overall, it provided good value for the price, but some improvements could really enhance the experience.
