We had a beautiful ocean view and a private balcony to enjoy the fresh ocean breeze. The room was impeccably clean. We had a restful and relaxing stay at this hotel. The friendly staff was very helpful and accommodating when we had to unexpectedly extend our stay due to high winds causing the cancellation of our ferry service. I highly recommend this beautiful hotel.

Breakfast was perfect in the courtyard as a spot to enjoy before...See More
