The hotel offers a great view with a squeaky pullout couch, but the ceiling above may need attention. The service was very nice, although a softer mattress would have been appreciated. The location is directly on the beach, which is amazing, but the lack of wireless cellphone towers in the beautiful forest area nearby might affect connectivity. The dining experience featured Italian products. The facilities were convenient and modern.
