The dinner service at the Hotel was poor. We sat for 20mins waiting for the waiter once seated. No offer of drinks or menu suggestions, nothing. And they were just standing around. Not a good look.

Friendly and helpful staff. Excellent breakfast. Our ocean view room was great with the beach accessible just across the street. Great to walk along the beach road. About 15 minutes walk to the town center where the restaurants are.

The 1st night the light on the switch for heat pump was annoying me. So I turned the pump off, but that changed it to totaly light up the whole screen on the control panel , which I couldnt sleep with as lit up whole room. The light didnt shut of till half way through the next day. So I didnt touch it again.
