The ocean view studio is perfect - sitting right over the beach and with a little kitchenette. It’s an older resort but they keep it well maintained. The pool has beautiful day beds and tables so you can relax after a day at the beach! They don’t do turtle friendly lighting though, which was surprising given the location. Other hotels on the beach have a lights-out policy but ours was brightly lit all night. But the staff are super friendly and it's a short walk to Bargara main street, so it's hard to beat!
