We had one of the smaller rooms and it was fine for 2 people. The room was very dark. We stayed 2 nights, and both nights we were woken at 5am and 3am respectively due to loud noise. Not sure if this was normal.

Absolutely loved this property. Wonderful location with the ultimate classic beach vibe. The best, cleanest beds I’ve ever experienced in a hotel. It felt like home and I wanted to stay a month. One improvement I might suggest is the in room coffee. Step that up and I would be in heaven. Definitely recommend this place and can’t wait to stay again.
