Bayshore Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay here was wonderful! Breakfast was great, loved the always available coffee, tea and cocoa. You were always greeted with a cheerful smile. We especially loved how our room opened right up on the beach. The beach was clean, there were lots of chairs and loungers, it was just perfect to sit outside and relax. I highly recommend this hotel! Hope to visit again soon!"
