Summary: Room and bathroom were great, loads of space and a great view of the beach from the balcony. Staff all polite and friendly and the valet parking works like a dream. Breakfast was quality and plentiful. Would prefer a proper bean to cup machine for coffee rather than gas station filter coffee, but apart from that 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
