The room was cute and quirky. The bathroom is extremely small and cramped… not appropriate for more than one person at a time… but that was the only real downside for us. The bed was large and comfortable and the air conditioner worked great! It was a great choice for us… we stayed 5 nights and filled our days with excursions and hanging at the beach and the many bar options close by. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/25e69338-36ff-4fe0-900f-bd2c09cdf4cb-1753909004080.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/57fa3656-ef90-402b-bf96-95454dedd9b0-1753909000917.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/31d72019-e956-4318-ade8-ab03235c980a-1753909004900.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/147b8f61-eee0-46ed-8b9c-956c8746142b-1753909000324.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Tina Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacob Apr 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Really awesome hotel in a perfect location - steps away from the sand but just private enough that you feel comfortable leaving things on the front patio.
