Ok stay
The landscape was great. Very nice surroundings. Around 15 minutes walk from shopping and restaurants.
The room was ok. The trash was not removed when we got the room. The shower was moldy. Not sure how it compares to other hotels in the area

Quality, comfortable and reasonably quiet
A higher-end hotel and a great option if you don't want to be on the beachfront which is busy and probably noisy.

Friendly and convenient.
The service here was outstanding from each person we interacted with.
The location is convenient to the beach and to town yet quiet and peaceful.
I recommend upgrading to the deluxe rooms. We stuck to the base room and would have enjoyed a garden view.
The bathroom in our room was the only disappointment. It could use an update.
