What a great location! The staff was super friendly, helpful and above and beyond. We loved this place. We stayed two nights in four rooms. Most of our rooms did not have a shower. Just a wand attached to the bathtub to spray off. It was hard to wash off sand.

Nice Hôtel / great location
This was a nice hotel in a great location. The staff was friendly and helpful. Our only issue was the internet connection which would expire at midnight and required 2 step process to connect which didn’t always work the first time.

Hotels.com and hotel should agree terms of offer
We made a specifc booking with twin beds offer and when we arrived we were told that for the category of room in fact they had no such category of rooms with twin beds (and since hotel was full, there was no solution). Whether attributable to Hotels.com or the hotel itself, the offer is misleading and creates difficulties. The hotel made it up by offering breakfast but still I did not get what we bookee for.
