Lovely Hotel

Fort converted to a hotel. Our room had an ocean view which was nice. Breakfast included was nice as well as the free water, soda and beer in the room. Very nice perks with the room. Some staff are able to smile, while others though not rude, don’t come across as happy. (Hit or miss). The nearest town is a 10 minute drive by car (Uber). They do provide chairs and umbrellas at the (Surfing beach). If you want to be near the water, but a little away from everything, then this hotel is definitely worth staying.

The views of the seascape were spectacular! The food was excellent too! Definitely a 5 star hotel. The setting of this fortress made into a hotel was unique and beautiful!

Exceptional customer service! They anticipate your every need and the staff are incredible - true professionals in their field. We had the corner room (212) with two big windows - simply amazing to wake up to the sounds of the ocean! Great amenities including robe and slippers with welcome fruit and bubbles!
Beach is a two minute walk!

Perfect stay

We loved the location, breakfast, and character of this hotel. Bicycles are available for use, and in contrast to the note in the hotel description, there is no problem parking your car. Public transportation takes you to all the wonderful places around for hiking and sightseeing. A few great restaurants are close by but in general, it is a tranquil and magical place to spend a couple days at.

This was an absolutely beautiful place with a gorgeous location. The staff could not have been more helpful or friendly. It is close enough to different places to go and see that taking an uber was affordable and easy. Cannot reccomend this place enough.
