Very cute boutique hotel which definitely exceeded my expectations! The location was the best - we walked to the beach, the restaurants and coffee shops. The rooms were clean with all expected amnesties. The staff were polite and professional. We booked 2 rooms and they upgraded 1 of our rooms to a family suite - Cypress. It had a cute loft area too with a queen bed. The stairs were a little steep but not too bad. Overall great experience - very cute garden area too. Definitely coming back!!
