The beds are wonderfully soft with just enough firmness and the room is near and clean. Only two downsides are the private patio furniture has a massive quantity of spider webs so I won't be sitting out there and I have counted 3 mosquitoes in the room that I cant seem to kill so I have ended up with a five or six mosquito bites already.

This place is a gem. Delicious breakfast. Really nice and accommodating staff. Gorgeous property with outdoor seating and a pool. Even though the place is small- they still have a laundry facility and small but great gym. Plus easy parking.
