Nice hotel but doesn’t deserve the high ratings

The room was nice, comfortable and clean. We found some sand on the sheets though. The hotel did not have a swimming pool. Food prices at their restaurant were better than expected. They allowed us to have an early check in which was surely appreciated.

Perfect location- beach, food and drink access

It was a great location to stay at with great beach access, great food and drinks. I loved that it's a small hotel, but has a huge patio deck with lots of seating and music, parking was perfect, we got to park in front of building so unloading was easy. Checking in was a breeze and Alejandra was nice and helpful.The room was extremely clean and smelled great, cold a/c which is a plus for me, room included mini fridge, coffee maker and tile floors through out. The shower was a bit small but it worked for what it was. I did find that the mattress was a bit firm for me but for a one night stay I was fine. Early morning walk on the beach as its only a few feet away was amazing, perfect way to start the day. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much here and are making plans on returning soon!
