Peaceful, luxurious, highly recommended
Came here for a solo weekend retreat after a brutal work month. The silence is the first thing that hits you — no traffic, just ocean sounds. I did the full spa day and ended up reading two books on the deck. The staff are genuinely warm and professional, not the stiff kind you sometimes find at luxury places. Already planning to come back with friends.

Stunning views, genuinely great food
Took my partner here for her birthday. The ocean views from the suite are stunning — you can watch the waves for hours. The breakfast was the highlight: sourdough, local honey, smashed avo done right, fresh pastries. One small complaint: the WiFi was patchy which is a minor annoyance if you need to work. But honestly, that made us disconnect completely and it ended up being wonderful.

Our best anniversary trip ever
We stayed in the Clifftop Suite for our 5th anniversary. The private plunge pool overlooking the ocean at sunrise was something I'll never forget. The staff remembered every detail we'd mentioned at check-in — champagne chilling when we arrived back from the spa, extra pillows on the bed. The breakfast board was extraordinary, delivered to the deck each morning. Absolutely worth every dollar.
