Nice place to stay

Had a few bumps upon entering, but it was taken care of immediately! Not a large ocean view but we were on the beach more than inside. The room suited us and we had an enjoyable stay. I would stay there again!

Nice for the price

This place is nice for the price. If you're really wanting amenities in your room, then no. It's very basic and a little dated, but the price is much less than others around and you are on the beach. The pool is nice and fairly large. Close to shops. A snack shop with fair prices between the pool and beach. All together very satisfied with it for a weekend getaway. Sleeps 4 but it's tight. Would probably want something a little larger for 4 people or more for anything beyond a few days. But once again, very doable if you're looking to save money.
