8/10 Very good

The good and not so good.
This is a new boutique 9 room hotel that has been written up in several architecture magazines. It is pretty striking- using sharp edged concrete everywhere with a dramatic circle theme in the lobby with its pool and sitting areas. The architecture is why we booked here. The restaurant food is excellent, however, we were insulted because the included breakfast only offered lesser breakfast fare compared with the rest of the menu. For the very high price to stay here, you weren't allowed bacon unless you paid. Come on....but you had to pay a gratuity on your 'free' breakfast. Dinner was high priced but worth it.
The room is brutalist cave design, and it's cool, but there are flaws. Only luke warm water due to 'sun boilers', you stub you toe on all the concrete, there are 3 very sharp steps up to the toilet in its separate closet - not convenient in the middle of the night. No inside chair or desk, no tv, open concrete shower where water splashes out. Cool private outside patio but there are even higher concrete steps with wood 1/2 steps, to reach it. The mosquito folding screen does not have a tight fit. Functionally, the room comforts could be better.
If you want a boutique modern vibe, swimming in the lobby-again cool, no tv, great but expensive food, this is the place.
The road is abominable.
