We had a wonderful stay! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The property itself is beautiful—well-kept, stylish, and relaxing. One of the highlights was the rooftop lounging area, which was the perfect spot to unwind and watch the sunset. Plus, the beach access was just a short walk away, making it easy to enjoy the ocean any time of day. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

Staff was friendly and welcoming from check in to check out. The light breakfast (muffin & fresh pressed juice) was a lovely touch. You can sign out nice beach chairs and towels too which was convenient! Beds and pillows are comfy, linens clean and fresh. Older hotel that’s been recently renovated - only negative is the slow drain in the sink & toilet. Would stay again for sure.

The property is located in a interesting area close to restaurants and some shopping. the only downside is that there is neither an elevator or ramp to the upstairs rooms so dragging a suitcase up is challenging.

Great location and views. Property is very nice and the rooftop patio is spectacular. Should be noted that there is no elevator so not great for lots of luggage or mobility issues.
