Nice rooms with kitchenettes. Friendly and helpful staff. Convenient parking in front of property. Great location on the beach and near downtown. Liked the pool and private beach. Only downside was that you had to pay a daily rate to use beach lounge chairs and umbrellas and there were no lounge chairs or umbrellas by the pool.

Overall we had a great stay. The staff was very friendly and the service was excellent. We also really enjoyed that the hotel is adults only, which made the atmosphere very relaxing. The only issue was the AC in our room, it didn’t cool enough, and other guests mentioned it had been like that for a few days. Hopefully that gets fixed soon because everything else about the hotel was great.

Our stay was lovely. The view was spectacular. The room clean and the little kitchen spotless. The hotel is located only a short walk to restaurants and cute beach front area. It is a smokefree hotel but there was a smoker located in a room below us that smoked on the balcony.....reason for 4 stars. To enjoy the beach it is only a few steps away. Very picturesque setting. loved it and the staff helpful and friendly. There is security at night so very safe and we never had any trouble finding a place to park the car.
