"Their location on the beach can’t be beat. And the cafe/restaurant downstairs is fantastic. The hotel staff are so kind and helpful and the hotel is charming with its old time elevator. But there is no central air so the room can get hot unless you open the windows. This can let in noise or rain. But the sound of the surf is a natural white noise that is soothing."
