This multistory, up-to-date boutique hotel has a variety of rooms and prices that fluctuate by season. It's just a 15-minute walk down to the beach and the Romantic Zone (but the return trip is uphill). Most of the guest rooms have balconies with wonderful views of the sea and of layers of houses up and down the surrounding hills. Suites have kitchenettes, washer-dryers, and a separate bedroom. All the rooms are classy, restrained, and distinctly masculine. The airy shared dining room-lounge is comfortable and welcoming; the rooftop terrace with infinity dipping pool is lovely. Gays, lesbians, their dogs, and straight friends are welcome. Pros: Reasonably priced airport transfers, free Wi-Fi, oh-so-comfy beds and pillows. Cons: Aerobically challenging location, strict cancellation policy

If I had to say it in one word - PERFECT. It started with the pickup at the airport, the drive was relaxed and comfortable in a Cadillac Escalade. We arrived at the hotel and immediately felt at home. The check-in process, if you can call it that, was relaxed - including a complimentary cocktail - and freshly made guacamole - how great was that! We were escorted to our room and found our luggage waiting there. The air conditioning was running on high and music filled the air. I knew I had wondered into something special at this point. The remainder of the stay included more great food and drinks, restful peaceful nights sleeping on the most incredibly confortable bed, massages both in our room and on the roof top terrace, prompt personal attention when we had questions... oh, and that special anniversary dinner that we had prepared right at the hotel - that was truly the shining moment. I'd go back in a minute, as many times as I could. Thanks again Don and Darrique for a great great time - please hold my room for me!
