Family-friendly location, spacious rooms, and excellent customer service.
I highly recommend this hotel for families with small children as the apartment features two spacious bedrooms, a dishwasher, and a washing machine. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
A friendly and welcoming resort. Good restaurant and nice staff. Our room was large and cleaned every day. Great pool and perfect location.

This property suited us perfectly. It was in easy driving distance to some of the coastal highlights, the restaurant food was excellent and it was in a quiet neighbourhood away from the busy downtown core.
10 minute walk to an amazing beach. Quiet patio for morning coffee. Allowed late checkout.

Great spot within a 5 minute walk to O stop and beach. Staff was incredibly friendly and it seems like they have been updating the grounds. Villa was well kept just a little dated, but the decor was clean and aesthetically pleasing!

The property location was nice with a beautiful, but rugged walking trail that eventually meets the boardwalk. The room/apartment was average in all respects.

We stayed as a family of 5 for a night in transit to Spain. The property is a clean, lovely and quite well maintained. The washroom and kitchen are a little dated but well kept. Lots of restaurants within a few min drive. Beach is a 10 min walk. Ocean view was lovely. We enjoyed the stay.
The villa was spacious, well-equipped with all amenities, and conveniently located just a short walk from the beach. The reception staff were very helpful and provided useful information for first-time visitors to the area. The property features a lovely pool, sauna, and restaurant, with beautiful ocean views from the patio and terrace. It is also situated right along the famous Seven Hanging Valleys Trail.
The only issue during our stay was an unexpected water shut-off on both days. We would have appreciated prior notice so we could prepare accordingly. Overall, our stay was very enjoyable and relaxing.
