Great stay
A really great stay- a warm welcome, a spacious room with everything we needed and breakfast delivered to our room the following morning. On a fairly busy road but the traffic noise did not disturb us. Plenty of space to park, walking distance to shops and restaurants and a sea view, we couldn’t ask for more

Great place to stay
We started our trip here after 28 hrs of traveling. It was a great place to get adjusted to the time change and catch up on sleep. The hosts were amazing. There are restaurants and shops close by. The beach is across the street. Great beds and pillows. You couldn’t ask for much more.
