  • Limited facilities — The facilities rating is lower than other categories, and the small size (18 rooms) means fewer on-site amenities.
  • No pets allowed — Pets are not permitted on the property, which may be a drawback for travelers with animals.
  • Check-in window — Check-in is only available between 14:00 and 23:59, so late-night arrivals may not be accommodated.

The breakfast impressed us with its range—pastries, fruits, meats, yogurts, and drinks. Beach was right across the street, and the pool in the back was a nice bonus. Everything met our expectations.”
