Darren, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The toilet seat was not secure although it was fixed after 3 days, the bed had sagged in the middle as it probably had been used for too many romantic weekends and the floor was covered in dust

Amy, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beautiful area and beach. Seems like every room either has a view of the pool or ocean with the sunset. No wifi, no cleaner, and not perfectly clean so loses points. Otherwise everything you need, in a beautiful location.
