Exceeded my expectations in every aspect. The suite was spotless, updated and larger than anticipated. The front desk staff were warm and welcoming and the price was reasonable. We booked on a whim for our anniversary and will be back for sure. The views alone are worth the money,

Great to rest and spent some relax time. The hotel has a nice beach. Walking distance you have a market, some restaurants and an organic bakery, which is great!
