Josh gave me such A WARM welcome! He was helpful and pleasant. The top-floor sea view room was spacious and decorated nicely. The mattress was soft, but honestly, it didn't bother me much. Tom was also really nice and happy to help at checkout.
I think a small table with the two chairs in the room would be really useful.

Josh welcomed us with such a friendly attitude! He is a very helpful young man. Our top-floor room featured a Lovely sea view. It felt spacious and well-decorated. The mattress felt very soft, so a firmer mattress is desirable. Tom handled our check-out, and he provided excellent service with a smile.
A small table for the chairs would improve the room, I think. It would be useful.

Fantastic Beachfront Stay!

The staff were very friendly and helpful, particularly when I arrived early. The room was clean and fresh, a great start to the stay. My room had a wonderful sea view. This made waking up AMAZING!!! The reception and bar were clean. I appreciated that the bar stayed open later to accommodate guests.
The room was smaller than expected for a double, especially with limited plug sockets.
