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.

Really great stay at this hotel. We were very happy with everything. Easy on-site parking. Quick check in. Room was a good size, nice modern bathroom (beds were queen size rather than king size, though). We swam in the pool which was really lovely. We also enjoyed the happy hour cocktails! The walk into town wasn’t too far. Overall a great stay and although we had only booked one night, we would happily have stayed for longer.
