I had a nice stay at this hotel, enjoying the convenient location near the beach and township. The rooms had a lovely, relaxed vibe and were well-designed, but I did wish for some basic amenities like a microwave and toaster. The service was friendly, but there were a few mix-ups with breakfast information, which could be improved. Overall, it's a comfortable place but might need more attention to details.
