The queen bed was very comfortable. We have booked from this host twice, and will definitely be back to this property. We were very comfortable. The property is quiet, and you can hear the waves crashing on the beach all night. Very peaceful."

"I think overall this hotel is fabulous. The food and drinks were delicious. Room was wonderful with gorgeous views. Our room was beautiful and small suggestions would be put in snacks people actually want to eat. Everything looked unappealing. Sugar loaded. As prediabetic I can’t eat anything they had for us. Also not everyone likes raisins so, offer things other than sugar bombs and things with raisins/cranberries! Offer better snacks! :)"
