    “We loved the sound of the ocean as we slept and the beautiful view through our windows. The room was clean and tidy. We loved the smores and fire pits, they are well maintained. The breakfast was the most delicious breakfast we've had in awhile. The free drinks alcoholic and non alcoholic was a prefect touch.”

  • Very nice hotel, amazing sunset overlooking the beach.

    “Arabanızı otoparka koyduğunuz için ücret yansıtılıyor. İnsan hayatı için en önemli olan bir bardak suyu bile size ücretsiz vermiyorlar Odaya su koymuşlar şişesi 9 $ restoranda bir şey yiyeyim derseniz gelin içeceklerinizi bir daha kaldırılmamak üzere masaya bırakılıyor dışarıda oturayım derseniz bir oturma yerini temiz görmek imkansız”
