We enjoyed a nice room with balcony over looking the beach. Hotel was clean, friendly and the complimentary breakfast was very nice. Would book another stay, and most likely will.

The room was just ok but beach access more than made up for the building flaws. I would definitely stay again. We only stayed one night so we didn't have time to explore the amenities other than the beach.
