adequate stay, some drawbacks
beach accessdelicious breakfastquality ingredientcar parkdownstairs noisedefensive response
i stayed in a luxury double room with ocean mountain views. the sliding doors provided beach access. breakfast was delicious and featured quality ingredients.
The restaurant faces the car park. the room i stayed in was noisy. I could hear noise from downstairs. the staff became defensive when i mentioned the noise at reception.

charmed by the beachside escape
direct accessbeach accessoutdoor hot tubfriendly staffcar park
i enjoyed having direct beach access. the outdoor hot tub was a treat! the staff members were very friendly and helpful. i found the beds were really comfortable for a good night's sleep.
the restaurant faced the car park, which detracted from the otherwise beautiful location.

The hotel location allows easy visits to the surrounding area! plus, you can walk to the expansive beach from the hotel. It provides scenic views, even if it's partly covered during high tide.
