The office staff were very helpful and improved my stay. On the other hand the studio room I stayed in seemed slightly dated and the kitchenette, with no sink, left a lot to be desired.

Staff were very helpful and accommodating and changed our room to a ground floor when checking in. Love the area close to eating places and the beach. Room was not huge but only there for one night so served its purposes. Clean and comfortable would definitely stay again.

The Beachcomber Hotel has an excellent location, across the street from a large park, with the beach just past the park. There is also restaurants very close by. Our room was a bit small but met our needs. There is not air conditioning, but a fan helped.

Good value for a quick and fun overnight stay. Enjoyed the pool (especially because no one else happened to be there).. Pool was heated just enough.. A pleasant surprise, but not sure if they keep that up 365. Even better was the super hot, good pressure, spacious shower afterwards.. (bc it was dark/cold by the time we got out). Surprisingly bigger property than expected so kudos to all the staff keeping it tidy and clean.
