Its simple rooms and suites provide a relaxed atmosphere with comfortable beds and terraces overlooking the beach and sunset views. The open-air dining area features a bar and beach club where guests can enjoy casual meals and freshly mixed drinks in an inviting seaside setting.

“It’s our 2nd time at this hotel and we love it! The view and where it is situated is just awesome. We reserved room #9 on top of the reception/kitchen. Nice spacious simple room with a king and queen bed. Comfortable beds and pillows. The terrace is amazing with a superb view of the beach and sunset. Priceless to have your coffee or glass of wine on the terrace with such a view!! Lots of water pressure in the shower which is rare! Maid service was perfect. The fridge was not plugged in when we got there, which was a little disappointing. If you are a light sleeper, maybe bring earplugs just in case. It’s a quiet zone, but very echo and morning noise starts early when they do the chair set up. (The windows aren’t very airtight). Bring your own beach towel. There is a nice section of chairs and parasols reserved for hotel guests. Will definitely be returning to this hotel.”
“If you love spending the day on the beach, relaxing in a sun chair under an umbrella, ordering food to your spot, floating in the nice water (don't brother trying to snorkle- not clear), walking up and down the beach,music bumping, people everywhere and drinking all day (you can drink anything, not forced to buy from the restaurants)- then this is the place for you! Unfortunately, we had a room on the main floor, literally just 30 paces from our beach lounger and umbrella, which had a lot of traffic in front of it. There's a big picture window in the room (#2), but unfortunately you cannot open the window to let light in, as it is right in front of the restaurant and reception desk- giving absolutely zero privacy. We were there for 5 nights, and the noise from the place opening up for the day never allowed you to sleep in. 7am or bust! No lamp or smaller light source. Side lamp? No safe- this was a big one. I've never been anywhere where they didn't have a safe. It may only offer a false sense of security, but at least it offers that! Bolt a safe into one of the shelves- done! A door sweep would help a lot with removing/keeping sand out of the room, and also help block any insects, and help mitigate the noise. There were multiple splits in our room's door and gaps in the door frame which could see through to the restaurant- fixing this would also help mitigate the noise. This place is clean and the staff is friendly. Fix these issues - and I will change my rating. Otherwise, a great place if you like the beach access and like a party vibe- you are a 10 min walk to anywhere in north beach- no real need for a golf cart. Enjoy the Beach!”
“Location superb ! Beach awesome! Stayed for few days as other hotels were booked. It's OK.”
“Amazing beachfront property! We stayed in room 17 and the balcony was lovely, as were the ocean views! We had free lounge and umbrella right out front, the food, drinks and service were 10/10! If wanting everything right in one place, this is it!”
