Michelin Guide
"Golfers love the place, as green fees are included in room rate along with American breakfast. Bright and cheerful rooms have balconies, some beach facing."

"With a pretty cove to itself, this modestly-sized beach hotel is family-run, and so has a more individual feel than the bigger resort hotels."
Rough Guide
"Small resort on the best stretch of beach north of town, with fifty elegant ocean-view rooms; the pool is a bit small, however."
Lonely Planet
"This is in the sedate area north of town on a pretty little stretch of beach, and there’s good snorkeling." Full review
