Exceptional resort! Bed and bedding is 5 stars, and the garden view rooms are beyond beautiful. My highest recommendation!

Lovely newly renovated hotel new to the Kimpton brand (was in a bit of soft launch phase wating for peak season). Very friendly staff eager to help. Large well decorated rooms and bathrooms. Lovely pools and large grounds annd gardens which are immaculate. Few minutes walk to an amazing picturesque beach with restaurant (although wasn’t yet open too early in the season). Can do small treks to nearby beaches. Would recommend a car if staying for more than a couple of days as there isn’t much nearby.
