Unfortunately, the first impression of this beautiful hotel was ruined during check-in. The front desk staff were rude and unwelcoming, showing a low level of professionalism and hospitality. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable, with a well-thought-out layout and a cozy atmosphere. Unfortunately, we had noisy neighbors in the adjacent room, and the staff was unable to do anything about it. Breakfast was the second disappointment overly formal and unfortunately not tasty, despite the breakfast restaurant itself being beautiful and comfortable. On a positive note, the hotel grounds are truly impressive: well maintained, with a wide variety of beautiful plants. The oceanfront terraces are well located, surrounded by greenery, and create a cozy, relaxing atmosphere.

Wonderful hotel built on a cliff. We stayed 2 adults and one child in this accommodation. Lovely rooms, great facilities including children indoor play area/playground, swimming pools indoors and outdoors, super friendly babysitting service. Attentive staff, tasty morning breakfast including plant based food. We enjoyed our stay. Would recommend.

A fantastic experience spending a week here on holiday. It's one of the quieter hotels that I have stayed at with the guests mostly being retired. This means that any entertainment is relatively low key, but certainly doesn't lack quality. There is very little that can be criticised; everything is clean & tidy, the food is great and the service is awesome. the team that work there all take pride in their work if they're running the restaurant or helping to set up the sun loungers by the pool. Be aware that there is a dress code (particularly for dinner) and unlike most places it is enforced. So don't think that you can turn up to dinner in flip-flops and your football shirt. It's all very discreet and well managed, but it is there. This makes the whole experience more valuable. If you want to relax in a great location, I'll highly recommend this. You'll find cheaper hotels, but you will have to go a long way to find a better one.

The staff at The Cliff Bay really make the difference! I was traveling solo and when I arrived there was a slight issue with my reservation and they not only fixed it right away but did it with a smile. Traveling solo, there’s a lot you take into account, including safety and after a day of hiking and exploring the island, I always felt great coming back here. I was probably half the age of most guests but even the guests were super nice and most come yearly. I saw a lot of reviews talk about the rooms being outdated-they are clean, have everything you need and are quick to replace anything you use. I would definitely stay here again!

It's decent. The soundproof Rooms are the Highlight. No noice from other Rooms or the Hallway. Since its the most important thing for me i enjoyed my stay. Everything else Like Spa and Breakfast is mid and Not worth the Price.
