    Great Value for a Short Stay. Located right on the beach.

    The hotel restaurant was a bit pricey and the room did not have a television.

    The property was located on the beach and comfortable for a short stay.

    Our room was directly off the restaurant which normally wouldn't have been so bad, but the base speaker of their sound system was next to our wall, which provided only base pounding which lasted all day. Same beat, same music. It was difficult to rest at all during the day in the room due to the music. We had to ask the manager both nights of our stay to turn down/off the music so that we could sleep. He was amicable enough, but we didn't feel like he genuinely was looking out for out comfort, or oblivious that the sound was so disturbing for hotel guests. There are not lounge chairs for guest use on the beach, only chairs and tables. We also sat at the outdoor tables around lunch time for some time before having to go up to the bar ourselves to order drinks Three employees where congregating up at the bar, and had no other guests there at the time . We had planned to eat at the restaurant, but were so tired of hearing the same beat of music all day long had to leave for dinner for a break.

    The hotel is in a nice location away from the fray of the town. Generally a pleasant atmosphere.

    Could be great place, maybe was one day, not any longer. Needs lots of maintenance.

    Hotel could be a great place, but lacks maintenance, from shower door poorly hanging, water dripping from the shower head due to the calcium buildup, lack of storage space, yes there was closet with shelving and hanging part, but due to the tight space, not easiest to get to, bathroom had limited amount of space to put things at etc... The resort had a pool with launch chairs, which were never dressed by cushions, I guess due to the evening rain, but what about the rest of the day? Restaurant even though had pretty good food was extremely expensive, dinner for 3 including 2 drinks, nothing fancy, was $180, ridiculously expensive. In the front of our rooms, the space was used to store cushions from the chairs, staff would meet there to discuss the plan for the day, right in the front of our windows, lack of feet washing spout or shower by the beach side, when entering the hotel space again was also inconvenient since the beaches are black sand. All in all, Staff was very friendly and welcoming, however, we would not come back to this place, did not feel comfortable. Which is shame, as it could be truly pretty cool place with little money invested into the maintenance and little more love from the management.

    located directly on the beach

    The motel rooms need remodeling. Bathroom shower grout dirty and sink barely draining. The A/C barely worked so the room was too warm all night. Mothball scent was so strong, we had trouble sleeping. We were staying here for only one night so didn’t complain but had we been planning on a longer stay, we would have asked for a different room or looked for somewhere else to stay.

    Beachfront Food was good and service was also good The beds were comfortable

    rooms were dingy, rooms needed a fresh paint job, bathroom had cob webs that appeared to have been there for a long time. Lack overall cleanliness. Lacked facilities and difficult to find anyone working who spoke English at all.

    The location was excellent. It’s right in the beach. Beds were comfortable.
