Laid-back hotel with friendly staff, buildings and outdoor common areas are well-maintained. We stayed with our kids (all teenagers) and spent time at the beach, the evenings hanging out in the central courtyard and walking the town. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone looking for an out of the way hotel, but you still want to visit local restaurants and stores. The only recommendation we would make is maybe a mini-fridge in the room and our bathroom would benefit from a fan or ventilation. Other than that, our room was so cool and worked well for us! Thank you!!

It was an amazing stay, we went there for our anniversary and we had such a great time! The room was squeaky clean, the staff was very helpful always able to help with suggestions and making our stay as comfortable as possible, the beach is a few steps away and the beach chairs were so comfy.

I will definitely come back with the family! Thank you!

Be warned: The pictures you're seeing of this property on Expedia tell only a fraction of the story.

Upon arrival, our Uber driver had a hard time finding the entrance. Why? Because the weathered sign doesn't make it clear as to where or if there's a lobby.
