This was the absolute BEST stay. The staff was incredible from the time we checked in. Our room was upgraded to a superior suite with an ocean view–and it was the most incredible room–bright, sweeping ocean views, treats, and a nice note from the staff. They even brought champagne once learning of our anniversary. We took advantage of the pool and sauna nearly every evening. We ate at the restaurant 3/4 nights and the food is UNMATCHED. By the end, the chef recognized us and remembered our orders. We even took advantage of the spa and had an amazing massage.
The walk to old town is perfect. It's right along the coast and only takes about 10-15 minutes. If the walk back up is intimidating you can easily hop on the number 4 bus and will be dropped right in front of the hotel.
Again, AMAZING stay. Best staff. Best accommodations. Best food. Leaving feeling relaxed.
