Helpful staff, spotlessly clean room, on-site laundry a plus.
Location is perfect - opposite the beach and shops/cafes etc all within walking distance.
For a last minute booking (no research) this place was a pleasant stay. It was very neatly appointed, clean and modern. Bed was very comfy. It was well priced for a coastal stay. Would definitely plan to stay here next time we are in the neighbourhood. I would recommend considering this for your next stay.
We had a lovely stay here. The room was clean and we had a warm welcome to the hotel. The bed was comfy, air con quiet and the hotel was located a stones throw from the local town
Loved the accommodation easy walk to beach and dini g options nearby

Stayed 3 nights in an ocean view room. A meticulously clean room greeted us that has been renovated. A comfortable bed, blackout drapes, excellent A/C. Owner operated and it shows.
Everything was perfect from our check in to our check out. The room was clean, light & welcoming and had everything in it we needed for our stay. Quality furnishings and towels made it feel a bit luxurious.
Our room was perfect. Clean and located close to the beach and local restaurants. The staff went above and beyond in advising us of places to see. The establishment exceeded all expectations.
