Rooms were clean and comfortable. Staff was fantastic and you could not beat the location. Pool was perfect. The only downside was the street noise. You could hear all the vehicles (we were on the main floor). Not a deal breaker for sure!

Basic hotel that was clean and well kept with friendly staff. The daily breakfast that was included was very good. Easy walk to the beach, shops, grocery store etc. Stayed as a family with kids (youngest age 4). Would stay again.

This place was such a nice treat after a really long string of bad days. From the moment i was greated by the front desk I just felt weight lifted and I was able to relax. The bed was incredible, the property was beautiful and they even helped me park my boat in the parking lot which was greatly appreciated. I was so sad I wasnt able to stay more than one night.

Very nice hotel. Close to multiple restaurant and a 2 minute walk from the beach. They have 2 pool with long chairs. Staff very helpful and friendly. We reserved for one night only and regretted it right away because we would have stayed longer but it was fully booked. Recommend 100%

The room was spotless and newly refurbished. The staff was very friendly and very helpful. Very walkable to beach, restaurants and stores. We didn't eat at the restaurant in the hotel but they were bustling everyday of our stay. The only disappointment were the pools which were surrounded by white rocks instead of cement making them not very inviting to spend time at. Of course we were there for the beach which was beautiful!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Friendly, accommodating staff was the highlight. Bed was a little too firm for a comfortable night sleep, and a malfunctioning lock caused some stress before we helped the staff figure out alternative access to the room. I’d consider going back just because of how nice the staff was, the good location, and nice pool, but my experience fell a little short of 5 stars.
