This cliffside hotel has awe-inspiring views and huge, spacious and bright rooms on tiered floors that cascade to a pretty bayside swimming pool. Units range from basic doubles to two-room suites sleeping four, all with marble floors, kitchens or kitchenettes, vaulted ceilings and sea-view balconies. Bathrooms and fittings are rather modest for this price, but the outlook is sublime.
