Nice rooms with kitchenettes. Friendly and helpful staff. Convenient parking in front of property. Great location on the beach and near downtown. Liked the pool and private beach. Only downside was that you had to pay a daily rate to use beach lounge chairs and umbrellas and there were no lounge chairs or umbrellas by the pool.

Overall we had a great stay. The staff was very friendly and the service was excellent. We also really enjoyed that the hotel is adults only, which made the atmosphere very relaxing. The only issue was the AC in our room, it didn’t cool enough, and other guests mentioned it had been like that for a few days. Hopefully that gets fixed soon because everything else about the hotel was great.

This is a great property! ITs quiet- nice pool and beach area- the onsite restaurant has very personal service- the chef, who is the owner- comes out to visit with you, and prepares especially for you. The food and wine were excellent! We asked to upgrade from a standard room to a balcony room, and they were very helpful, and we moved to a top floor, corner king suite. I would strongly recommend booking a king suite- there's plenty of room, a full kitchen- balcony overlooking the ocean, and very quiet. This was an all around great find! We definitely will return!
