What’s great about this property is that it is right on the beach which gives it a semi private area for the guests to enjoy.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (534 reviews)
Lovely location and sweet courtyard. Room was clean and comfortable though there was a leaking tub faucet. I was extremely disappointed with the level of noise that woke me up on vacation at 7:30am (or so)....lawn mowing or blowing, garbage pickup, etc. Is there no town noise ordinance near a luxury hotel?
