“In my opinion, this hotel earns its reputation as a top-tier destination, particularly noteworthy for its exceptional service and prime location overlooking the ocean. The stylish interiors and multiple pools create a luxurious atmosphere. While perhaps not ideally suited for families with young children, the hotel excels as a base for couples exploring the Garden Route.”
