    Liked : Great place, perfectly located right in front of the beach. Clean and very comfortable.

    Great place, great location, great staff.

    Liked : Breakfast was great. Staff were willing to learn how to make an iced Americano! I loved the outdoor community kitchen. The only thing I was unhappy with was that I only stayed three nights; three weeks would have been better. All staff were friendly, and the manager (male) was great. Thank you!

    Disliked : Staying longer!
