Outstanding, great staff. The food was excellent especially the fresh breakfast
Pros:

All good, the staff were outstanding and very nice. This small hotel would put the major hotels to shame with their fresh & outstanding breakfast/no buffet breakfast here. We will be back, thank you for your hospitality/well done 👍

Cons:

All good

Possibly overpriced considering some of the shortcomings.
Pros:

Staff were helpful

Cons:

Breakfast needs to improve. Milk was unfortunately slightly sour and diluted orange rather than fresh orange juice. Might have expected more considering the price.

Ever so quiet and comfortable.
Pros:

Right on the main thoroughfare so easy to find an easy to navigate. Free parking!!! You walk around the corner and there is a beautiful beach. The bed was super firm♥️

Cons:

The shower floor. I know that might seem weird, but it was super bumpy and was not comfortable on my feet.
