The location is perfect. Boutique hotel on the beach. Small room but modern and comfortable. The office staff is very helpful, especially Amanda. The restaurant is on a deck facing the beach with an excellent service and good food. Prices are reasonable. Unfortunately they do not offer breakfast. We had a great time and will be back!

The beach is beautiful directly in front of hotel. We wanted to love it but found it lacking. No conditioner, the pillows were hard, the bedside lamps were too dim to read by. It was explained that the water system was solar but we never had hot water over a 2 night stay.
