8.2/10 Very Good! (121 reviews)
The cover thing about the hotel was the location. Great view of the beach and ocean and easy to walk e everywhere. Room was close to the pool and parking was free and easy. The shower leaked through the bottom by the door. People by pool woke us at 3:00 am one night not a 5 star hotel but I’d stay there again. Not expensive. Nice staff

Location location location! Just amazing! Lucky enough to stay there in July so saw whales and dolphins most mornings whilst enjoying breakfast. Lovely food, incredible staff, comfy rooms. Stay on the top floor if budget allows.
