Great place to stay! Location was fantastic. Rooms were clean, big and very comfortable. Only knock is the lack of parking. 8 spaces is nowhere near enough. I got lucky and found street parking in front of the hotel.

This place is amazing. I would have given 5 stars but the beds were very uncomfortable. We switched rooms to an upgraded sweet because we decided to stay an extra day. The bed in the upgrade was even more uncomfortable I could feel the springs on my back it felt like a motel 6 bed. My back is still soar from those beds. Hopefully they upgrade the mattresses because we would love to go back and make it a yearly relaxation vacation.

The location is excellent—peaceful, quiet, and very clean. One downside was the mattress, which was extremely soft. I don’t have back issues, but I still found it uncomfortable; those with back problems might want to take note. One suggestion: During our stay, the weather was chilly, and having a fire would’ve made sitting outside much more enjoyable. They lit the fire only around sunset The complimentary coffee was a nice touch and was available almost every time we checked. However, the breakfast was underwhelming—mostly a few types of cookies that didn’t change daily. A bit more variety would go a long way.

We had a great stay at this hotel! The cleanliness really stood out—everything felt fresh and well-maintained. The overall vibe of the place was relaxed and welcoming, perfect for a beach getaway. Best of all, the location couldn’t be better—just steps away from the beach. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient stay by the ocean!

We spent 3 lovely nights at this well kept resort. Right across the street (3 flights of stairs down) to a beautiful beach. We loved the Polynesian style of the hotel! Nice fire pits and outdoor fireplace in the courtyard for cool coastal evenings. The room was well appointed with a large jacuzzi soaking tub. In April it was very quiet but I can only imagine what summer might be like! Comfy king bed and good Starbucks coffee and tea selection for breakfast along with fresh fruit, juices, packaged pastries and yogurt. Just right to start the day! We will return!
