Basecamp was great location, basic rooms , the beds were comfortable and rooms were clean. However the hallways, staircases and balconies are run down and could use some updating. The staff was helpful and the service was great. Overall we had a good experience.

The room was hot! The air conditioner was not working and the heat would not shut off in the room in 80 degree weather. They offer a magnificent breakfast options till 2 but you have to pay but worth the money.

Highly recommend

We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed it very much! The location is quiet with voucher to the beach which is only a 5 minute walk. The rooms are huge and the balcony was comfortable. The attached brewery area and live music was fun. Great for kids and getting to know people. We mostly dealt with Claudio at the front desk - he was so kind and patient with all our questions. We will definitely be back!

First time traveling with our baby and we were pre-assigned a room in a quiet corner of the property; needless to say it was perfect and greatly appreciated!

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
We liked the convenience and ambience of the adjoining beer garden, both food & beverage were reasonably priced for area. However, wifi/internet regularly cuts out or doesn't work at all, especially later in the day when more users are on; and the 3rd floor hallway (south end) smells horrible (carpet and underlying wood need to be replaced). Lots of "not quite or poorly completed" renovation work--rust on balcony rails, common areas not cleaned up. etc.

Property and room was clean and great for the price. We did have a towel that had yellow stains on it so didn’t use it but didn’t call front desk since we had brought extra towels from home. Breakfast was not included and honestly the food wasn’t good at all. Our mesh sliding door wouldn’t close all the way so had to have sliding door closed all day/night, and a/c unit was too loud to keep on a long time. Beach was 10 min walking and got a voucher for the private beach so that was nice. Parking is ok, does get crowded in the small lot especially for an suv so tried to stay on the outsides. Target was also a 3min drive away so that was a plus!
