    fantastic location
    thin walls
    noise disturbances

    The stay was pleasant overall, especially due to the cozy atmosphere created by the fireplace in the room. The location is fantastic for beach walks and enjoying the sun, and the helpful staff made the experience even better. I did find that the walls were thin, which led to some noise disturbances during the night. Overall, it suited my needs well for a short getaway.

    Relaxing getaway with a cozy vibe

    We had such a nice stay! The pool was all ours on Saturday, super chill. The room was cozy with a fireplace and had a mini fridge, which was a sweet bonus. Staff were super friendly! One thing, though, the lounge area could use more seating for when it’s busy.
