Beautiful hotel walking distance to a quiet beach. Lisa the manager was so friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean, well stocked and quiet. Plenty of space to pack underground. The spa can use a bit more supervision on cleaning and restocking, breakfast IS basic.

Pet friendly. Friendly staff. Comfortable beds. We were missing a window covering from one our windows and had to use a towel for privacy and light block light. There was also a small ant infestation in our room. Probably from previous guests food crumbs. Not a dealbreaker, but woke up to ants crawling around us in the middle of the night. Luckily, they were non biting ants.
