    Small and quaint.

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    Room was clean and in place. Not a giant room but perfect for the one night stay of us. Property was nicely maintained and landscaped. Front desk called us and set up our check in, went very smooth. Walking distance to restaurants and the beach. Would stay here again.

    Great check in. Small place but so cute and comfortable. Lots of places to walk to shop and eat. We had dinner at Zorro’s and it was wonderful!

    The property was very nice with a heated pool. The location was very convenient.

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    This is a very cute little one place. Ours was right by the heated pool. The lady that checked us in walked me over and opened the room and showed me around. They had little snacks and water for you that were complementary. They didn’t have an ice machine but they did provide a small cooler of ice! Over all I would definitely stay here again!!

    The bed was so comfortable. And location

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    They had the room set up beautifully. It was very clean and everything you needed was in there I really needed a regular chair to sit in the high chairs. I cannot sit in them. So I just took a chair from outside and brought it in, it worked perfect. The chair was so comfortable. You ready to eat
