Book a Room with a View

Several guests mentioned that the views from the rooms were spectacular. Opting for a room with a balcony facing the ocean or mountain comes highly recommended.

Be Mindful of the Hill

Weather Considerations

Be mindful of the wind, as it can be quite strong in the area. Prepare accordingly, especially if you plan to spend time on the hotel's terrace or balcony.
