Staff were very accommodating. They supplied us with plates and cutlery so we could barbeque our own dinner. Nice area with fire pits. The shower in our room was terrible. There was a hot and a cold tap. You could not regulate the temperature. It was either scalding hot or cold. It was just enough room to stand in. You couldn’t even get away from the water when it was scorching hot. Walkable distance to ocean which was nice.

Super friendly staff. Very clean room. Great location. The only negative was that the room got really hot with the afternoon sun and the air conditioning wasn’t very effective and quite noisy.

It was nice to be at a place close to the sites we wanted to visit. Two things in particular that could be much improved on were the lack of firmness in the matress, and secondly, the blinds had they been black out curtains or blinds, would have contributed to sleep quality.
