"I wish I did a little more research before booking. This lodge used to be a hostel and still seems more like a hostel than lodge.

It’s a little ways to the shipwreck and lighthouse. Great for trail access. Overall, if you’re traveling with small children or folks who overheat easily, maybe not the best place. If you need a base...

"It had all the amenities you need, and even the tub included the salts. Yes, it does not have AC, but going in October it was not needed at all."
