Location! Location!

This review is difficult because of the extreme difference between the view and the hotel. The hotel is dated, no electrical outlets next to the bed, no blackout curtains, old carpet. But the location and view are spectacular and the price is low. If they renovated this hotel it could be a goldmine.

This hotel is on a beautiful beach with lovely sunsets. The owner is friendly and works hard running the place. The food is good, but they're only open for supper. The room was fine for our one night stay. The rate was reasonable, we would return. Thanks!
