“This adults-only hotel sits on a sheltered coast, a peaceful beachfront location that feels distinctly private; I appreciate the sunset views and the thoughtfully designed Polynesian dining. It's not inexpensive, especially for a beach view room, but that seems a fair price for a tranquil boutique experience with attentive service. While I noted the breakfast is simple, the overall charm and setting more than compensate.”
