10/10 Excellent
"Hotel was clean, staff were very friendly and helpful. We stayed in October during off season. The hotel still had an open heated pool and a driver/shuttle to bring you to and from the hotel and areas around town. John was a great driver who was very knowledgeable about the area and gave good recommendations. Though they offer the shuttle service, main parts of town are very close to the hotel and could even be walked to. They let us check in early which was a great bonus. Harry’s bar and grill is located on the same property and has great food, drinks and friendly service. They also had their annual boo bar going which is always fun. The hotel faces the beach and provides great views and a short walk onto the beach. Would stay here again."
