8.4/10 Very Good! (373 reviews)

Quirky hotel with digital check in with reception desk on the street & use PIN code instead of a key to get in room. Made the most of a small room by including a fridge & glass surround shower in middle of room, however the bed only had one way of getting in & out so not easy for couples who may have to climb over their sleeping partner. Lighting very bad for doing makeup as me & my two friends found out who were in other rooms. Friendly staff and ideal location for walking to the beach, going out for dinner and shopping.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (10 reviews)

This is a beautifully renovated older home turned into a BNB. Every detail has been preserved or highlighted with marble detailed bathrooms, modern cozy furniture and kitchens that I am truly envious of versus my own:). It is a BNB so some may not like the shared kitchen but in that case, reserve the Lotus Suite! We stayed in both the Lotus Suite and the Granada. I can't wait to come again!
