My stay at Akwa Ocean View was a mix of beautiful views and significant letdowns. The sunsets over the ocean from the hotel were amazing. however, I encountered issues with the room condition and service that marred my experience. The steep location added a challenge, making it less accessible than I expected.

I had an overall pleasant stay at Akwa Ocean View. the stunning ocean view from my room was absolutely amazing. However, the steep hill to access the hotel was a bit challenging, especially when driving. I also noticed a couple of issues in the room, like a wobbly chair due to a missing screw, which detracted from the experience slightly.

Facilities like the infinity pool were relaxing and beautiful, and I appreciated having a rack for drying my swim gear. More attention could be given to some areas, but it was generally satisfactory.

I had an amazing stay at Akwa Ocean View, which I can easily describe as a hidden gem in Santa Teresa. The views were absolutely stunning, especially from the Bardot Lodge, where I woke up to the ocean right outside my window. While I didn’t try the breakfast as I opted for my own fruits and granola, the tranquil environment was everything I hoped for. On the downside, the steep driveway is a challenge but ultimately worth it for the scenery.

The welcome I received from Alexia was warm and made me feel right at home. However, there was a slight language barrier during breakfast that made ordering a bit tricky.

The resort is perched on a steep hill which provides those killer views, but it can be a workout to get back up. It's only a short walk to the beach and nearby restaurants.

I didn’t eat breakfast there, but I heard it can get repetitive. I wish they had more variety with fresh fruits and a buffet style option.

The amenities offered, like car hire and tour assistance, were decent, though I didn’t use them much during my stay.

I had a wonderful six-night stay at Akwa Ocean View, specifically in the Nicholson Villa with my family. The private plunge pool was a perfect way to cool off after spending time at the beautiful beach just across the street. However, getting to and from the resort does involve tackling a steep hill, which could be a challenge if you're not prepared for it.

The resort is on a hill, which offers stunning views but also requires some effort to walk to and from town. Still, the proximity to a beautiful beach compensated for that steep climb.

I had a pleasant stay at Akwa Ocean View, although there were a few hiccups. The views from my room were absolutely amazing, and the hotel itself is beautifully integrated into nature. However, the steep hill leading up to the hotel was quite daunting, and the breakfast options became repetitive after a few days. Overall, it's a nice place with some room for improvement.
