This is a little gem of a hotel. The rooms are very well designed and tasteful. The grounds are extremely well kept up and the beach is practically outside your doorstep. Plus, the lava lava beach club is a huge bonus with excellent food, great service and wonderful entertainment at night. Would stay here again in a minute!
