Staying at the Areca is like coming home. The staff remember me and are warm, friendly & helpful. The rooms are comfortable & charming. Love the design of this row of heritage houses, making it a cohesive and cosy hotel. Location cannot be beaten.

The room was lovely, extremely comfortable bed and pillows, regular room service with cleaning, my only frustration was nobody on the desk spoke decent English, so the communication was difficult, also you couldn’t order a coffee until 11am which I thought was ridiculous as when I was heading out earlier of a morning it would have been nice to grab a take away coffee, and also they only have full cream milk, which I can’t have, so many people require either soy, almond or skim milk.. also when I enquired at the desk about accessing Netflix and YouTube for my tv in my room, I was advised you only have access link if you have a android mobile, and I have an I phone as alot of people do, I found this rather disappointing.. the area location on the beach was absolutely beautiful..
