Great place to unwind on the beach or enjoy the small pool. Solid drinks at bar and decent good. The staff is excellent especially Patrick at the front desk and the staff at the coffee place downstairs. Rooms themselves are ok not great but typically non-luxury beachfront hotel. Amazing location walkable to the endless number of bars, restaurants, and shops.
