Beautiful sunset view

Hofsa House is really nice. We had an ocean view room and were able to watch the beautiful sunset from the balcony! The only problem was the fact that the walls a very thin and the guests in the next room were very loud late into the night.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The facility is very dated, pet stains on the carpet, a small TV that seemed like the brightness was turned down and no way to adjust, hot and cold water for the shower reversed, a generator type buzzing that never stopped even at night that kept us up and a disappointing “breakfast” that was a few muffins and fruit. Staff was all very nice and the location is great but that won’t get us back…

The hotel has a heated pool and the heater is on all day and night making a weird noise, making it hard to sleep. Seems to me in January you don't need to have the pool open.
