An amazing gem. The room was clean, comfortable and well equipped. The ladies at reception were so cheery and friendly, greeting you every time you past and asking about your plans. They were super helpful providing information on the area and booking trips. The reception area has so many extras for your use…just help yourself to beach towels, coolers, chairs, toys, bikes, etc. Would love to come back and stay longer!
