Good size, clean, comfortable, great views. The bathroom was also a good size especially the shower. The only thing I'd recommend would be somewhere to hang towels as you dont always want to block your ocean view with a towel airing out on the balcony. Great location to the beach and town. Staff were great, housekeepers friendly. We forgot to leave a tip as checking out with a baby is busy but we planned to as we felt it was deserved. ##### Jeni Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacqueline 14 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort fabulous view!!! quiet and great location. ##### Jacqueline Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer 5 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The view was amazing.
