We stayed on the second floor with our balcony looking out over the beach. It was divine. Had the whole infinity pool to ourselves, and ordered room service. The following morning ate breakfast at the vue. They did the most beautiful smoothies and the meals were a generous size. I asked if the berries could be swapped for a banana due to allergy restrictions and the ladies were happy to do this. I will definitely be staying again sometime in the future. The room was just gorgeous and extremely affordable. The only downfall was that the vent in the lounge area, was dripping water and we had to put a towel down. Otherwise perfect.
