We loved our stay here and will be returning for future trips. Perfect distance walk to the beach and restaurant. The lady at the front desk we very helpful and kind which goes a long way! Pool was nice, they had lots of toys for my kids to play with. The room itself was also well sized, beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was functioning. What more could you ask for? The only thing I would do differently is ask for a ground level room since I had a stroller and there was no elevator.

Cottage, not Castle

The woman at the front desk was super helpful but our room was so tiny. It was hard to get around the bed, no hot water and no counter space in the bathroom. The location was great and the pool was nice and heated.

Nice little place on busy road

Nice place, decent rooms and made reasonable accommodations to our needs coming in late and switching rooms mid-trip. The heated outdoor pool was nice, very warm at first but we were able to adjust that easily enough. Rooms were clean, mattresses were a bit thin, not super comfortable, but sufficient.
