Great room, close enough to the beach to hear the surf break. Staff very welcoming, even rang us to make sure we would be able to get there before the office closed.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff were absolutely lovely and the room exceeded my expectations in terms of amenities, comfort and how it looked. Minor grumble - the security lights outside were on permanently and the black out blinds didn’t properly keep the light out - I like a pitch black room, but to be fair, security is more important.
