Summary: The hotel was nice. Room was a good size (we had a one bedroom with sea view). It was a little dated, though. Receptionist was lovely on our check in. The hotel had a swimming pool and hot tub which were fed by geothermal water which made them beautifully hot and very pleasant. Room had cooking facilities which was useful. Hotel is a little bit out of the centre of town, but the uber was only around $10. Parking was on site, again useful. Overall a pleasant stay.

Summary: Owners were very polite and helpful! Small parking area. Beautiful heated pool out back with access to the beachfront through a private gate. We made great use of their guest laundry facilities. Would definitely stay again if we were in the area
