"Great location, great beach, great staff. A tad noisey at times."

8.0

Location, view & room were all very nice.

The noise. We were on the first floor. When the staff was conversing near the front desk, the sound, voices and laughter carried down the hall and made it difficult to sleep.

"Badeferien wie überall im überfüllten und überlasteten Strand."

6.0

Die Lage direkt am Strand ist wunderbar. Man hört das Meer auch vom Zimmer aus. Badeferien für diesen eher überlasteten Strand sind bestimmt ein schönes Erlebnis, wenn das Angebot Jet Ski, Bootausflüge, zahllose Hunde am Strand, geschätzt wird.

Das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis des Restaurants war nicht zufriedenstellend. Die Preise sind auf der Karte ohne Service und ohne Steuern von ca. 25% angegeben. Ausserdem wirkte der Strand nicht sauber, da viel zu viele Hunde und Menschen auch Plastik und Abfälle herumliegen lassen. Das Wasser am Meer wirkte bräunlich und es gab viele tote Fische auf dem Grund und am Strand, wo diese dann von Geier gefressen wurden. Pura Vida?

"We enjoy staying at this property, year after year, and hope to be able to continue in the future."

10.0

The beachfront location is ideal, however, the staff is what makes this property a joy to stay here. Joshua has been a vital part of the staff for the past 25 years, even through the ownership changes. We are always thrilled to see that he's still here each time we visit (almost every year for the past 20 years). The other staff are also very helpful and friendly. The additional beach lounges and chairs are welcomed, and the renovations to the rooms over the past few years (especially the bathrooms) are much appreciated.

The room rates have almost doubled in the past couple of years since the change in ownership, however, it appears that the new owners are investing substantially in improvements, especially to the rooms.

"Wonderful small boutique hotel on quiet beach, friendly staff and close to airport. A must stay!"

10.0

Location was so amazing! What an amazing, beautiful, small boutique hotel that was so perfectly located right on a very quiet beach. You can walk to beach, pool, your room in less than a minute! The room was clean and tastefully updated and decorated. Staff were so kind and helpful. We ate dinner and breakfasts at the restaurant on the beach, which were very good and reasonably priced. . A few mini super markets well within walking distance, and monkeys in the trees a few doors down! Felt very safe here and would 100% recommend!
