10/10 Excellent
"Our stay here was wonderful! Breakfast was great, loved the always available coffee, tea and cocoa. You were always greeted with a cheerful smile. We especially loved how our room opened right up on the beach. The beach was clean, there were lots of chairs and loungers, it was just perfect to sit outside and relax. I highly recommend this hotel! Hope to visit again soon!"

10/10 Excellent
"Nice large room, beautiful views from balcony, pool and hot tub were large and very well maintained. Box Breakfast was a new twist, I've had better more substantial breakfasts at other places, but it was adequate. I might suggest a different brand of OJ as it was poor. Only other ding I would give property is put an ice machine on the 3rd floor, as well as one one each wing of each floor. It's nuts to make the guest go from the 3rd floor, down to the 2nd floor then over to the south wing for ice, or worse - to the 1st floor in the laundry room. Would stay again if rate was appealing."

"Coffee at the breakfast area was mediocre and served in the small cups like in the room so kind of a let down. The bed was not comfortable however the room and bathroom were very well kept and clean and those 2 things were important. Overall a good experience but we wouldn't give 5 stars unless perfection. Thank you. 😊"
