    The location is fantastic! We loved being so close to the beach, just a short walk away. The staff were friendly and accommodating, making our family stay enjoyable.

    In my wife’s opinion, a coffee maker would have been great.

    We had a fantastic stay with clean rooms and a perfect heated pool for the kids! There were plenty of sun loungers to relax on after our day at the beach. Just a little dusty in some corners, but overall a great time, and we'd definitely come back! 😊

    Incredible stay just steps from the beach! The deluxe suite was spacious and equipped with a kitchenette, perfect for my family of four. The outdoor heated pool was pristine and inviting, providing a great spot to relax after exploring nearby shops and restaurants. The staff's accommodating nature truly stood out, especially when they effortlessly switched our room to a second floor for a better ocean view. However, parking was a bit limited during peak hours.

    Perfect spot for a getaway

    Had an amazing stay! The location was perfect, right by the beach and close to fun stuff. The heated pool was a hit, and we loved the outdoor dining area for breakfast. The staff was super friendly, but our room felt a bit cramped. Overall, it was still a great experience.

    Perfect location with helpful staff!

    I recently stayed here and truly enjoyed the proximity to the beautiful beach, making it incredibly convenient for quick trips back and forth. The heated pool was a highlight for relaxing after a day out. The staff was incredibly welcoming and did a fantastic job of making me feel at home. However, the decor is a bit dated and could use some freshening up to enhance the overall experience.
