Great Boutique Hotel. Friendly helpful staff. Close walking distance from beach and shops. Rooms where comfy and clean. I just found traffic from the road quite loud at night while trying to sleep. Lobby was great for a free cool lemon drink or cuppa tea. Pool area was nice but pool quite small. Overall I would book here again. (Australia)

We stayed at this hotel back in October 2011. I think they had recently updated the hotel and were continuing construction on the exterior of the building while we were there so it was a little noisy during the day but we weren't in the room much. As for the location, this hotel is perfect. They have a cute little... More
