Great hotel just meters from the ocean! We were kindly upgraded to a studio room which was spacious and clean. The kitchen included a kettle, microwave, toaster and fridge and there was a dining table and chairs too. Tea, coffee and milk was provided and our stay was relaxing and comfortable. I would stay again!
