Honestly, this was one of the nicest places we have stayed for the cost. Beautiful views. It’s on a point between 2 beaches (sunset at one and sunrise at the other without even leaving the hotel grounds). Self-contained room had good cooking facilities and a full-sized fridge. Even though we booked the last available room and there was still plenty of parking. If you have time, go for dinner at Cove nearby as it was beautiful. Thank you for the stay - it was so much nicer than we expected.
