Pros: The location is the best part of this place, across the street from the beach and walking distance to the restaurants.
The room was very simple but comfy enough and clean. Staff was very friendly.
Con: Booked through Expedia because it is advertised there that there's a pool on the property (there's even a photo of the said pool). I chose this property mainly for that reason, since we have a young child that obviously loves a pool. But there's no pool and the hotel refused to give any refund due to FALSE ADVERTISEMENT. Expedia was helpful and at least provided a few point for compensation.
Wifi wasn't working
I was disappointed the TV didn’t work in the room and there were no staff around or answering the phone. Not really acceptable for a room costing so much.
Manager was amazing fixing up a booking error, room was clean only let down was how bright the lights where coming from out side and making it hard to sleep. Overall was a nice place to stay
We had a brief one-night stay on our way up the coast. Excellent location in town. Nice to fix morning coffee and walk across the street to stroll the wonderful beach. Front staff mate was excellent (Davie?). Very quiet location and convenient to everything we needed!

Staff was lovely, letting us check in early (1pm).
The room was adequate. Have had to get some extra stuff as it wasn’t facilitated for 3 guests to begin with. We’ve left feedback for the staff, won’t get into it as they know what they can improve on.
The location was amazing. The beach at our front door and cafes, bars and shops at the back. Could walk everywhere. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

The location was excellent. The room set out was just what we wanted for 5 Adults. We only had one minor problem was the AC wasn't working but it was one of those things that can be fixed.
