Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The location of the retreat was very close to a secluded beach. It was basically at the end of their driveway. There were also a few restaurants right near the end of the driveway which was very convenient. The women who worked at the retreat were absolutely amazing. They were so friendly and talkative. Robert, was just Robert. He's a unique guy who I liked very much. He made us feel very welcome.
Negative: If you have trouble walking up hills this might not be the best place for you. Its a bit of an uphill hike from the beach to your room. If you are in shape, or can manage with a few breaks then I wouldn't let this stop me. The rooms were a bit dated and could use an overhaul. The bed was clean and comfortable though. The fridge in the room was pitted from the salt air and not very pleasant to look at.
Summary: Great Location, Excellent Staff.
