Cute refurbished hotel with local restaurants and bars close by. There’s one on the property and more about half a mile down the road. The reception team were all so nice and the hotel remodel is so cute. We enjoyed the tiki bar at sunset and beach access was great! It was a great overnight stay, just wish it was longer.
