9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,007 reviews)

Charming room decor with a nice ocean view. Comfortable bed. The restaurant on the first floor is great for special occasions. The breakfast included a fruit and tapioca dish that we loved, and the view from the breakfast area was great.

8.6/10 Excellent! (1,000 reviews)

Very helpful and friendly staff who were dealing with very slow computer problems at check in so some waiting but everyone at front desk, cleaning the rooms and working at the rooftop bar and restaurant were excellent! Thank you! Great to have access to the car park across the street too.
