Friendly and convenient.

The service here was outstanding from each person we interacted with. The location is convenient to the beach and to town yet quiet and peaceful. I recommend upgrading to the deluxe rooms. We stuck to the base room and would have enjoyed a garden view. The bathroom in our room was the only disappointment. It could use an update.

We liked our stay here. Overall the property is well maintained, our room was nice, spacious and clean. The only drawback was that our room was on first floor accessed via wooden stairs. So with heavy luggage it is a slight challenge, but we liked our room on first floor as it had super high truss ceiling and overlooked a courtyard with balcony. There is plenty of parking available near each room so it is very accessible. Only thing is that property is a few minutes drive away from main wharf area.
