My stay at The Cliff Villa Boutique was absolutely good, highlighted by the stunning sunset views and delicious breakfasts. Elizma and Johan, the hosts, went above and beyond to ensure a welcoming experience. However, I did notice that privacy was slightly limited due to the shared spaces, which could be a consideration for longer stays.
