Spectacular location out on the headland
DCachia77 (Sydney, Australia) on Jul 20, 2024
The location of the hotel out on the headland means that there are at least 180 degree water views from your room and balcony, depending on your room. The restaurant/bar area has the same outlook, and the sunsets were the focus, closely followed by the food . The lagoon pool at the end of the resort was spectacular and frequented by turtles and other wildlife, all swimming so close to guests, without any fear
LOUD/Not Relaxing/Cute
Loritheestylist831 (Santa Cruz, California) on Jul 17, 2024
Such a cute place with nice people. Very LOUD. Not relaxing. I wanted to stay here since our last trip. There is LOUD DRILLING at the pool. Also LOUD MUSIC at night and LOUD garbage cans and buses starting at 6 am!! Our room is really cute. They gave us a corner but it's over the garbage cans. (Room 436 don't do it!). No doubles so they gave us a bed but there is no room for it so we take turns sleeping on the loveseat. The poke bowls are excellent and I would highly recommend if you want to eat here that's enough of a visit. Stay somewhere a bit away. It's not a place to chill. I'm from California but it would inky let me say Ireland.
