Our favorite thing was our morning walks to get coffee and sip it whole overlooking the ocean. The safety of the area and the accessibility to beautiful homes, shops, and the ocean meant everything with this stay. The hotel was a comfortable stay, nothing fancy. Beds were nice, rooms were clean.

This was our second time staying here. Awesome location. Clean. Safe. Comfortable. The only complaint i have would be that the room smelled a little musty upon arrival. Other than that, everything was great.

Love the property. Clean and new, up to date decoration and facility. The room comes with a balcony which is nice, though not much view to see. Location wise, it is okay, there are dinings and some shops nearby but not many.
