I felt very disappointed. Because the room was not looks like in pictures. The room was stinking and the towels in the room was like they didn't wash them from a long time. There was broken hair on the floor. Overall, the property was below average.

We were first given a room that was absolutely vile, water damaged furniture, grubby, dusty. a health hazard. not fit for purpose. then after complaining was offered to see a different room. on the ground floor which was clean, newly renovated and fine for our stay. The tiny court yard garden was still a mess with the aftermath of the renos. If you book here ask to see the room before you pay or agree to stay.

Nice location, lovely view of ocean and very quiet room. We only stayed overnight but it would be a great location for a holiday base to do day trips from.

I found the room comfortable. The TV was not working well, but the manager changed the batteries in the remote and it was okay. The booklets and the shampoo were out of my reach and the towel rail in the bathroom was missing.
