The property was jenky to say the least. Check in was pretty easy but the price for the stay was definitely not worth the buck. The hotel was dirty, outdated, and just not up to par. The property itself felt unsafe.

The breakfast was delicious and healthy! They offer a lot of extras like wine and cheese, bikes and beach supplies. The rooms were comfortable and smelled fresh. I only wish there was a chair in my room. Otherwise still a 5-star experience! Fantastic location to getting to a popular beach as well.
