For clarification purposes only, they do not have a three bedroom family room.I booked the three bedroom, and what it is, is actually three beds, queen size, in one room. I brought that to the attention of the person that was checking me in. She might have thought that she was giving the correct description but I let her know that she should definitely be updating it to state it is three beds in one room. She did let me know that there is a two-bedroom, but it was taken because they were sold out. Overall, was not a bad place to stay, short walk to the beach and a very short walk to anywhere you may have wanted to go in town.

Clean room. Good location but it is not on the beach nor is there a beach view. I like that there is no carpet in the rooms. Walla are thin so I could hear people talking in the next room.

Would stay again!

We really enjoyed the stay. It was not our intended place but we stayed for the first time due to few vacancies around town and we are very happy. The room and grounds were very clean and the staff was very friendly and accomodating.
