Beautiful, right across the street from the beach, great place! Very kid friendly, great little town within walking distance. Excellent service. Breakfast is very good. The pool and spa areas are very nice and look out to the ocean.

I stumbled onto this hotel in 2008 and have since stayed there once to twice a year. Basically whenever I drive up and down the coast, I try to stay a night of three there. Its off-season weekdays special is in particular very reasonable. I prefer to stay there with its spacious suite rooms and go to the thermal spa... More

Great experience. I would highly recommend! Secluded feel but close to shopping and restaurants. The entire hotel is exceptionally clean amd well maintained, and right on the beach. Very well designed rooms with comfortable decks. Hard to find the level of customer service provided by these good folks. We will come back!
