TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR GUESTS

  • This was my 4th stay at this property and everytime it’s been brilliant. Right from check in, to the daily service, the rooms - everything is superlative. I’d change nothing. What’s even better now is the attached restaurant. The food there is outstanding so now an added reason to come stay here along with the close proximity to the ocean.
