10/10 Excellent
"The whole place got renovated since I been there a few years ago. Refurbished rooms, super clean. Very cozy and nice looking public space with a grill, bar table, swing seesaws as bar stools(!) and ping-pong table (!). Bicycles and some beach stuff you can use (for free). And the main thing - own beach access board walk. Highly recommend!"

"The view is awesome, the hotel is cute, updated and very clean. Be prepared for very small rooms and tint, tiny bathrooms. Don't plan on being comfortable with more than 2 people. Other than that, it's a darling property and I'm already looking forward to my next stay."
