"Incredible! The first word that comes to mind. We booked this location VERY last minute after our original accommodations were less than ideal and the property owner/manager Bradley was extremely accommodating and took the time to tour us through the room and property before check in and even allowed us to check in extremely early and last minute. We were very happy with our stay. The view was great and location even better as you are right off the beach. I would highly recommend staying here if...

8/10 Good
"We liked the spacious room with sitting area and balcony. Airconditioning was strong, and it has no adjustment, only on or off - the hotel even recommends turning it off at night! There is a ceiling fan however. Main pool was closed indefinitely, I think they could have let us know about that in advance... Smaller pool was OK, we didn't try the lap pool but others reported it very cold. Breakfast was a little disappointing for the price ($35/$38.50 on weekends), limited range and most of the hot food wasn't hot."
