The place was very clean, cozy and comfortable. The manager, Andre was very professional, personable, and helpful. We had a great time and will definitely stay again.
Had a great stay over a busy October weekend. Andre, the manager, was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Rooms have a cute surfing, beach theme. Rooms were clean with strong AC. BEDS WERE comfortable with lots of pillows:). Would recommend and stay again
My third year here - quiet spot away from the strip of stores and restaurants. Easy walk to the beach.
Self check in has become a nice option over the years.
