Had a lovely 4 night stay. The room has everything you would need including beach towels and a clothes drying rack. Breakfast is included and was wonderful, with generous portions of everything. There is a bus stop nearby with access to other parts of the island and walking tracks. It is a short walk to Horseshoe Bay where there are numerous eating options and a beautiful swimming beach.
