Mar Monte Hotel, in The Unbound Collection by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent
"The Mar Monte Hotel was a lovely place to stay for a girls getaway... it was right across the street from the beach; the restaurants on site were fantastic, we loved the free bikes and beach chairs, and the pool was great. We had a noisy air conditioner the first night and got moved to a new room with a balcony which was lovely. Great stay!"

The Inn at East Beach

The Inn at East Beach

8/10 Good
"I believe this property was an apartment building a really long time ago. It’s cute and it’s clean. The bed was a little bouncy but it was comfortable. There isn’t A/C but there are fans in the room. It wasn’t extremely hot and it did cool down at night so that wasn’t an issue for me. The continental breakfast is pastries, fruit and coffee that’s it. The beach is walking distance and that’s the best part…yeah I’d stay there again I liked the quaintness of the property."
