Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Private parking was nice, the coffee and tea bar was incredibly appreciated and awesome; it even had espresso! They had bikes, chairs and beach towels which made it very easy to enjoy the nearby beaches. There was a vending machine downstairs that I didn't use but it was nice to see, especially since no stores in walking distance. There were no fridges or microwaves in the room but there was a community use fridge downstairs and a note that they had a supply of mini fridges available upon request. The room was excellent and the shower/bathroom was too. There was air conditioning in our room and the view of the ocean was incredible. The staff was friendly and there was an on site gift shop which was nice to buy souvenirs. This was a very excellent hotel, would highly recommend it!
