The gently "green" philosophy is appreciated, but the rate charged is borderline outrageous considering the quality of the room (the one my family and I stayed in). Granted, the hotelâs location is fantastic, but the room was small, without a TV, dark, bare â almost monastic⊠In short, sad and with no view⊠and all that for nearly âŹ1,000. A big disappointment for us.
Small rooms with no closet.
The sinks are inside the sleeping quarters to the room (separate from the toilet and shower) but the sink is a spot sink so if you want to wash your face, your sink area is a total mess because the sink is like 8â in diameter. The good news is that the showers are very hot;)
No elevator, stairs are super steep so if you have someone who is elderly or otherwise has trouble getting up and down steps this can be a challenge if you are on an upper floor.
The restaurant was good but itâs definitely a self serve scenario with walk up ordering and paper plate service. Disappointing considering how much the average daily room rates are. Would expect more.
Staff was kind. Housekeeping does the best they can with what they have to deal with getting around the property. Beds were comfortable but the bedding was wrinkled and looked a little too âshabby chicâ for what we were paying. Almost like my 8 year old made the bed.
Rooms are musty. No real heat (fell upon a bad weather spell), the AC unit was a wall mounted unit that pushed cold air onto the bed while you were sleeping, we were told we could either have the AC on or not on at all but not to turn the unit to heat as the unit would break. Weird.
The whole management style is a little too beach casual for my style. Expect more for the amount of money we paid.
Small, but comfortable room. Excellent location right on the beach. There was a mix up with our dinner at the hotel one night and my husbandâs dinner came out much later than mine. It wasnât a big deal, but the hotel comped our meal, brought us a free dessert, and comped our post-dinner drinks at the bar. The nightly sâmores were a wonderful touch and encouraged guests to socialize with each other. Would absolutely stay here again!
The beach hd run out of towels and made not attempt to find any.
The air conditioner was very loud and apparently connected to the neighboring rooms and cannot be independently turned off. We were freezing and turned it off, only to have hotel staff knocking on our door at 11pm (waking up my family) to tell us to turn it back on due to the neighbors being too hot. This is bizarre for $900 per night accommodation.
The beds were not comfortable and pillows flat. The entire place felt like a dressed up motel (lipstick on a pig).
Only positive was the location, but might as well had paid less then half the price for a neighboring motel.
