Very nice hotel. Close to multiple restaurant and a 2 minute walk from the beach. They have 2 pool with long chairs. Staff very helpful and friendly. We reserved for one night only and regretted it right away because we would have stayed longer but it was fully booked. Recommend 100%

Friendly, accommodating staff was the highlight. Bed was a little too firm for a comfortable night sleep, and a malfunctioning lock caused some stress before we helped the staff figure out alternative access to the room. I’d consider going back just because of how nice the staff was, the good location, and nice pool, but my experience fell a little short of 5 stars.
