"This was an absolutely marvelous hotel in a challenging spot to get to. Don't let that stop you. The rooms, the food, the drinks, the views - everything was outstanding. Just one small thing.. you better be fit to very fit. The entire place is in a hill and it's unique and special, but I did 60 days of HIIT and weights to prep for this trip so I would not be the "old woman" who couldn't get around. So glad I did! They do have golf carts, but we just found ourselves walking. Truly...

"Love the location of this condo. The pool is nice and it is only about 10 -15 mins walk to the beach. Also, there is a sidewalk so you are not walking on the main road with cars and trucks and motorbikes. There is a small grocery store located at the front of the condo and it has everything including meat and vegetables and fruits. The only thing I would fault this place is the mattress. We rented unit 9 and we were basically sleeping on boxspring. There is no pillow top on the mattress and we...
