"An absolutely beautiful property. Not a lot of guests, amazing views from the rooms and delicious food! Staff was so helpful and kind! Can’t wait for our next trip back to them!"

While you have to pay in order to use the geothermal pools anywhere else on the island, there are geothermal pools right here in the hotel for your use anytime of the day or night!

We highly recommend this hotel!"
