Convenient for a night stopover. Very quiet town but found a nice tavern and restaurant down the road. The hotel bar and restaurant was closed which was unfortunate.

My room was clean and large, however it was dark, 70’s decor, poor refreshment facilities and cheap furnishings. Would not recommend this ‘hotel’, it is more of a motel.

A little gem!
This is a great little place, the lady on check in was extremely helpful and efficient. The room was perfect for us and the view was to die for!
The view from our patio, there is a path that leads right down to the white sandy beach!!!
