underwhelming stay

unclean room loud air conditioning

the location was acceptable, a short walk to the beach.

The room was not clean upon arrival (i spotted hairs in the bathroom). the air conditioning unit was loud and made sleeping difficult. i also had issues connecting to the wifi. It barely worked in my room.

Fantastic Stay Just Steps from the Beach

beach access friendly service cozy atmosphere

The hotel provided beach chairs, towels and an umbrella, I certainly found this very convenient. The staff offered prompt and friendly service from check-in to the bar. Happy hour offered a great selection of drinks and snacks. I think it was worth the visit. I really liked the boutique feel and appreciated the cozy atmosphere of this gem.

The mattresses felt quite soft and it was slightly difficult to get a comfortable night's sleep.

Location

10/10

The hotel is located less than a block from the beach. It is close to many restaurants. Though it is far enough away to maintain a quieter setting. The location allowed easy walking access.
