    • Review: "This is a well placed hotel with access straight onto the beach. We requested, and got, a room with direct beach access and a constant view of the spectacular dolphins, usually evenings and mornings, and constant seabird activity of the pelicans and gannets fishing for small sprats I guess. Room cleaning staff are incredible, and the breakfast cafe was scrupulously clean with a terrific selection of breakfast items, the highlight for us being the really efficient waffle makers.

    • Review: We had a plumbing issue around 5p the 2nd day of our stay. First they told us where to look for a plunger in the corridor. Then a maintenance guy came and got the water to SLOWLY RECEDE. Said he'd do more the next day after we checked out. Before 6a the next day I was dressed and heading downstairs to a public restroom as we really couldn't use the commode in our room. We will stay elsewhere our next visit in a couple of weeks.

    • Review: "We enjoyed a beautiful view, day and night. It was the perfect spot for watching sunrise and surfers. The room was newly painted clean. I’m fussy about a clean bathroom. Clean towels. Having mold allergies, sometimes it is tough to be by the water. There were no odors. However, the a/c unit was not perfectly maintained, a little mold and dented outside. We left the slider open at night, perfect weather. Seventh floor. Broken elevator. Whole building used one. Live music, great bar, nice...
