Nice rooms, no WiFi
The rooms were very nice, most of the staff is very friendly and helpful. We had a problem with the internet not working the entire time and were told something different by each other person we spoke to: one of the main reasons we stayed here was because they advertised they have good WiFi .

An awesome quiet place to relax
This is my second time staying here. I really enjoy this hotel. The area around it is very quiet and enjoyable. The staff is always friendly and professional. The hotel is directly on the beach and a plus is it has a heated pool for colder month fun.
