We loved that the pictures online were not deceiving, everything was exactly as it was on the pictures so that came as bonus for us. We loved the peace and quiet of the area. Everything we needed in the facility was at our disposal🙂. It's definitely a place worth going back and telling others about. I loved everything about the place.

We were lucky enough to get a room with a balcony just next to the hotel dining room and it was superb! The room was clean and comfortable. Their dining room is on 3rd floor overlooking the beach! The hotel sits right in front of the beach and you have less than 5 minutes walk to famous restaurants like Spur, Wimpy, McDonald's, Steers, Debonairs Pizza, Ocean Basket, to name a few, which are also on the beachfront.

My room was amazing. It was facing the ocean/beach. The breeze was entering my room every morning during the my time there. I enjoyed my time drinking coffee and watching the surfers in the morning. The breakfast was really pleasant. Breakfast was eggs, omlets and fruit along with other options. The location was on the beach and close to all the action. The bar was cool and active with a DJ on the weekends for happy hour.
