10/10 Excellent
"This was a last minute booking literally! When we arrived we were greeted by Chris & Philip who were both kind & funny. Chris & his very silly jokes made us giggle and we actually went back for another joke upon checking out. And I even got a beautiful bottle of wine when we arrived! Thank you Philip. Superb BTW! This property is older & historic. John Wayne shot a movie & stayed there. Who knew!!!! Rooms were small charming & quaint. Bed very comfortable! Great shower pressure too! Lovely Hawaiian music playing in the courtyard and bummed we had no time for the pool. And there were a few adorable cats, the roosters of course and a beautiful peacock greeted us am. I’d def stay here again 💕. Dana"
