Enjoy modern comforts, from ocean-view suites to family-friendly options with breakfast included

Cozy Comfort

The room was incredibly spacious and well-equipped with a mini-fridge and microwave, perfect for keeping our snacks fresh and enjoying meals in. The large flat-screen TV provided us with great entertainment options after a long day of exploring.

Delicious On-Site Dining

The Thai restaurant located right in the hotel was a good surprise! We indulged in the roasted duck, which was absolutely delicious. Having a gourmet dining option so close made our stay even more enjoyable.

Accessible Relaxation

The enclosed dog-friendly area was a fantastic feature, providing a safe space for my furry friend while we relaxed. It was also wonderful to see thoughtful accommodations, making it easier for everyone to enjoy the facilities.

Refreshing Features

I loved the bathroom setup, especially the rain shower head that offered a luxurious experience. It made for a refreshing way to unwind after a day at the beach. Everything felt very well-maintained.
