I highly recommend. The place was clean and comfortable. It was a slight walk from the beach so was quiet. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was great. I had the omelette each day.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel is pretty small, so we saw the same people at breakfast and by the pool frequently (which was really nice). The rooms were mostly stand-alone buildings (quaint). The room was clean and nicely furnished. We paid extra for the free breakfast. It was really worth the $. Very good options to order. The pool was somewhat small, but it was never crowded. While you are at the hotel, it is beautiful. The beach is about 1/2 mile walk, but you need to walk on the rocky, uneven, dirt shoulder of the road.
