A hidden gem with breathtaking beach views! The spacious rooms were comfortable, and we enjoyed the scenic backdrop of the waves crashing. Dining offers stunning vistas too, but prepare for potentially slow service. For a remarkable experience, definitely consider an ocean view room. A perfect destination for nature lovers!

Fantastic Location with Stunning Views

Our stay was delightful! We loved the clean and cozy beach view room, which offered breathtaking views over the ocean. The staff was incredibly friendly and made us feel welcome. Breakfast was tasty with plenty of options included in our rate. The only downside was the limited wifi access, which was a bit frustrating.

The beachfront location was stunning, but our room was not as requested, causing disappointment. The bathroom cleanliness needed attention, and the limited air circulation made our stay uncomfortable on a hot day.

would love to stay here again

We enjoyed the Rainforest Room – Balcony, with amazing views of the surrounding nature. The room had a private bathroom, flat-screen TV, and a comfy seating area. Staff were super helpful, especially Zoe and Bonn in the restaurant. Dinner was excellent, really full of flavor, and the location was just steps from the beach.
