Property is beautiful and nicely located near the ocean. Reception was so kind and easy to work with, very accommodating. We had a great time the evening we were there - got great drinks at the bar and had great conversation with other guests. Highly recommend! Only issue we came across was the slow-draining shower. Otherwise, a nearly perfect stay for a great price.

There were ants all over our room- all over the floor, climbing the walls and even in our beds. The floor looked like it hasn’t been washed in months and the toilet seat was falling off. It was the bartender that checked us in when we arrived and knew next to nothing about our reservation. No restaurant on the premises, only bar food which closes at 8:00. It could be a great place but didn’t measure up to the reviews
