10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was excellent with regards to service, cleanliness and location. Everything to shut down very early and unfortunately due to tides and debris we couldn’t use the kayaks."

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel was incredible. The location is excellent, the hotel itself is quite interesting and there are many places to explore, the food and drink were excellent - as were the staff who provided them, the room was remarkable. This is a must-stay hotel if you are considering staying in the area. I would return in a heartbeat if travels bring me there - and I would bring as many as I could."
