My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The room was spacious, well-maintained, and most importantly, clean. The service was very friendly and accommodating, and the location couldn't be beat with access to the beach and town nearby. However, the dining options were a bit lacking. Overall, a great value for the money.

8.2/10

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is unbeatable, just across the street from the ocean and within walking distance to so many wonderful places. The rooms were cozy, although a bit warm at night, but they were spacious, comfortable, and filled with natural light. The service was top-notch, with the staff being extremely friendly, helpful, and understanding. The dining options were a bit limited, but the high-end pastries in the small hotel office were a delightful treat. Overall, a fantastic experience that I would highly recommend!

Rooms

My room had views across the car park to the ocean, which was nice but for a proper sea view, I'd recommend booking the first-floor rooms. Despite being a little warm at night, the room was large, comfortable, and had tons of windows on both sides.

The hotel doesn't have a common area, but the proximity to the beach and the gracious rooms make up for that.

7.8/10

The hotel is in a prime spot right across from the beach, making it convenient for soaking up the sun and enjoying beautiful sunsets. The service was impeccable, with a helpful and understanding staff. However, the lack of air conditioning and noisy plumbing in the rooms were a bit of a letdown.

Rooms

The rooms were surface clean but a bit dusty and dirty, and the noise from upstairs and plumbing was noticeable. The available fan was not the cleanest or most effective.
