"We loved the location just over the road from the water. It was comfortable with everything we needed provided. Just a suggestion: something other than just TV would have been good. eg Netflix or sky movies."

"Car park was a struggle to get in and out of with not much backing room and turn space. Friendly staff just wished I hadn’t had to wait a while to get a fresh set of towels, seen a family waiting for a staff member was there for a long period of time. When arriving not properly greeted or instructed on how cleaning and everything works (or even telling us tourist about what’s around here and what activities are on etc)"

"The hotel was so clean, cozy, and inviting. The ocean is right across the street, offering incredible views and beach access. The location was outside of the commercial center, but still so close it was walkable. Finally, the proprietors were very helpful and pleasant. We will most certainly be back."
