    vibrant bar
    cleanliness issues

    The vibrant bar atmosphere was a highlight, with fantastic craft beers on tap.

    The cleanliness of the unit left much to be desired, with unwashed utensils found in the drawer.

    shower pressure
    bed insect

    The shower pressure was more of a dribble than a shower and i found an insect in my bed. I expected a complimentary gesture for such inconveniences, woudl ve been nice! Almost gave a good review but just couldn't, obviously. Poor!

    Really enjoyed every detail about my delightful 2 nights stay here. The breakfast was lovely with variety of food, everybody can choose. My room included climate control, flat-screen television, and a fridge. The staffs were helpful & superfriendly. The location was particularly good and unbeatable, within walking distance of Cactus Petes Casino.

    short walk beach
    poor shower pressure
    dirty utensils

    The beach was just a short walk away.

    I was disappointed with the shower pressure, quite terrible . The room felt overpriced as it lacked proper cleaning and enough cutlery for two. There were unwashed utensils left in the drawer.

    friendly staff
    great location
    poor shower
    unclean utensils

    From skeptic to believer

    Super friendly staff created a warm atmosphere, and the location was ideally situated for beach walks and nearby attractions. The food was good, especially in the inviting garden bar setting.

    Unfortunately, the shower pressure was disappointing, and the utensils in the room needed attention, impacting the overall experience for a relaxing stay.

    garden area
    cozy breakfast
    fridge condition

    Had an awesome stay where I enjoyed the cozy garden area while my friend loved the cooked breakfast that was a good value. The sun terrace was perfect for soaking up some rays after a hike! Only downside was the fridge in our room could use some TLC, but overall, it was a lovely experience. 🌞

    kitchenette facilities
    breakfast availability
    missing parking

    The Standard Studio was comfy with super cozy beds, and having a microwave and kitchenette was a nice touch. It was also pet friendly, perfect. The beach was just a short walk away, which I loved! The vibe in the restaurant/bar was great too. Only downside was that I didn't get breakfast at the time I needed.
