I booked a room with an ocean view for my boyfriend and I for his birthday and we loved it! I was a little unsure about how our stay would be based on the mixed reviews I read beforehand but I decided to give it a try. It was incredibly close to the beach and they offered chairs, umbrelllas and towels for you to take to the beach. They also had record players in each room and had a fun selection of records for us to choose from; we ended up borrowing 3. Anthony, the front desk guy, was so attentive and kind throughout our time there. He welcomed us with a couple of glasses of Prosecco and showed us to our room. He also helped us with a late checkout and remembered our names which made it more personal. I could go on about how great this place was. I can’t wait to come back and share it with all my friends.

The hotel itself and decor are beautiful! All the goodies and friendly service made us feel like complete VIP’s. The room was beautiful and the record player in each room was such a nice touch! Also, the bed was the most comfortable hotel bed I’ve ever felt! It was a perfect place to enjoy my partner’s birthday :) the location is perfect too! Walking distance from so many restaurants, bars, and the beach! 10/10!
