Top Butterfly Beach Hotel Reviews

Beachside Inn

8/10 Good

"The property was in a great location, right across from the beach and close to several restaurants. The breakfast was good, and I really appreciated having coffee, tea, and hot chocolate available 24/7. On Saturday, they also offered a complimentary wine hour with cheese, grapes, and a choice of red or white wine, which was a nice touch. The staff was friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The furniture and fixtures were modern and stylish, and the room was clean overall. My main issue was the size of the room. The room we stayed in was extremely small, and the stand-up shower was so narrow that it was barely comfortable to fit inside. I was disappointed because the photos made the room look much more spacious than it actually was. I felt that the photos were somewhat misleading and did not accurately represent how small the room was. Overall, I enjoyed the location, amenities, and staff, but I would have preferred a larger room or more accurate photos showing the actual size of the space."
