I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, enjoying the beautiful views of the sea. The rooms were comfortable and clean, providing a great space to relax. The staff was very helpful, especially in the dining area, where service was attentive. However, while the dining experience was nice, I felt there could be more variety in the menu. Overall, it's a fantastic value for what you pay, especially considering the prime location on the cliff.

Clafouti is a charming resort with great curb appeal and a lovely view of the Arabian Sea. The rooms are spacious and clean, but I had an unfortunate experience with hot water and Wi-Fi issues in my unit. The staff was accommodating and friendly, and the restaurant offered delicious seafood. However, some areas of the hotel could use better maintenance to match its higher-end appeal.

I had a wonderful experience at this resort spa, primarily due to the excellent hospitality and the fantastic dining options. The location is stunning, with breathtaking views of the ocean that made my stay memorable. While I appreciated the cleanliness and the spacious rooms, I did feel that some basic amenities were lacking. Overall, it was a good value for money, but a few improvements could elevate the experience further.

I had a stay at a resort on the North Cliff that truly impressed me with its breathtaking beach views, but I faced some challenges with the room's amenities. While the location was perfect for a morning beach view and the food was delightful, the lack of basic facilities like proper storage and a damaged bathroom door lock were quite disappointing. Overall, if you value scenery over comfort, this place could be a decent option, but I'm unsure if I'd return for the price I'm paying.

The resort is situated in a beautiful location with lovely cliff views, but it suffers from maintenance issues and limited parking. The rooms could be improved, but the dining experience, especially breakfast, offers stunning ocean views. Accessing the resort was a bit challenging due to narrow roads, and the service could be more attentive.
