Ideal for a peaceful restful stay
Lovely boutique hotel with family friendly service. Beach on property is not the best for swimming but great beaches are literally next door. Food and service is great, with rooms/suites conveniently fitted with small fridge and microwave. Furniture could use some updates. Nanny service and activities for kids is a big plus.
