Personalised, exceptional service

We had an incredible stay. The personal service was what really sets this place apart. The apartment we stayed in was tidy and had all the necessities. The beds were very comfortable. The beach walkway was a quick stroll from hotel and everywhere you’d want to go in the area was a close drive. We appreciated the customer service most of all. The owner was so nice and welcoming. The family takes pride in their hotel and it shows.
