Excellent hotel. Quiet and relaxing. Good mix of nationalities. Average age group over 50's. Courtesy bus into town on the hour. Free wi fi excellent. The only thing to note is everywhere is very hilly and not walkable unless you are fit. Town centre is flat and very pretty with good shops.

The ocean view room was fantastic, perfectly positioned with unobstructed views as far as the eye can see. The hotel and room was very modern with a high end luxury feel. We had dinner at Trapiche on the rooftop, and the food was delicious. Would certainly return
