“This is a hidden gem for sure. The view from our room of the ocean was amazing to see in the mornings and then at sunset. We love the communication using WhatsApp. Nice to communicate when we wanted breakfast delivered and to make dinner reservations. We left a coat in the closet and the manager held it for our return through the area 2 days later. I honestly wouldn't have remembered leaving it at all. So thankful.
Breakfast was a big yogurt and ham/egg sandwich that was perfect to start the……
“The stay was quite lovely. I know that it is not a requirement but I believe in tipping. However, in the mix of the day of check-out...I forgot. Perhaps, leave a note somewhere suggesting a monetary thank you to the staff. Travelers should have cash to tip as they travel the garden route.”
