Reviews and Ratings

Reviews from guests about their experience.

Morris

United States, December 2024

7.4/10

My stay at the hotel was overall a lovely experience. The rooms were spotless and had great finishes, making them very comfortable. I enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, but I felt that the service could have been a bit more attentive during busy times. The location was relaxing, perfect for unwinding by the beach, and the facilities were decent, though there's room for improvement. I noticed the dining options could be more varied, especially for breakfast, but the fresh salmon I had was delightful.
