The room had a safe large enough for my laptop. This offered good security. I found a fridge and microwave, very useful amenities. A hammock-style seat on the balcony provided a nice spot to relax, a charming addition.
The hotel lacked evening entertainment, which i found a little disappointing

Fantastic Stay With Great Beach Access!

excellent serviceconvenient kettlegorgeous beach
I just returned from a really fantastic visit! The staff worked diligently to keep everything clean. The customer service was excellent. I was so excited to find a kettle, iron, and hairdryer provided in the room along with some cups. The nearby beach is gorgeous and right across the road.
My only minor issue was that a closer supermarket would have been convenient.
