Beautiful remodeled property. The suite was SO worth it. Tons of space and lovely view of the ocean. The service was wonderful, from the champagne at checkin to the fresh juice and muffins delivered to the room, they didn’t miss a detail!

The property is located in a interesting area close to restaurants and some shopping. the only downside is that there is neither an elevator or ramp to the upstairs rooms so dragging a suitcase up is challenging.

The hotel is located just a few minutes walk from the beach. The area has a laid back feel to it which we enjoyed. Lots of dining options within a 5 minute walk too. The hotel is fairly basic overall but clean and comfortable. You can get complimentary muffins and freshly made healthy juices in the morning which is a nice touch. There are no coffee/tea making facilities in the room so you have to go down to the lobby to get one. The lobby has this convoluted coffee machine that takes forever to produce half a cup so you end up having to do it twice to get a coffee! A pot of drip coffee would be a great addition for the morning rush of guests. However there is a nice little hipster coffee shop right across the street if you want to go buy your own which I ended up doing. There is a rooftop patio which is great for watching the sunset over the ocean. There's a mixture of seating up there but it would be great if they had some loungers to relax on as well as the wicker seats.

The air conditioner blows right on you above the bed. The fridge was really loud. I had to leave because I felt uncomfortable and unsafe and went to stay with a friend.
