The Twin Fin Hotel

The Twin Fin Hotel

8/10 Good
"We only stayed one night, but it was good for what we needed. Staff is friendly and very helpful. The pool area is really nice. The Tiki bar on property is great fun, and it’s in a great location across from the beach. They only offer valet parking, so we were able to extend it after check out for $8/hour. Good stay. Very basic."
