Our room was right next to the reception desk and we never heard a sound. There was a fan in the room and a small gas fireplace. There were two relaxing chairs and a round table next to a large window with a view of the ocean off to the right of the window. If we opened the window, we could hear the waves crashing toward the shore. The staff were welcoming and polite. The property was clean and our room was immaculate and comfortable. We had a made-to-order breakfast with some terrific choices that came with our room and delivered to our door at an hour we chose. We had a wonderful stay here and we will be back next year for sure!

The room was lovely nice welcome gift of cookies. Clean and comfy bed. Only disappointment was the breakfast. Didn’t realise it would be delivered to our room. Would have much preferred going to sit down in a proper breakfast room. The choice was also limited. If you don’t like eggs you were left without much choice.
