The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Cozy Ocean Retreat

The room's ocean-view patio was a perfect spot for morning coffee and enjoying the gentle ocean breeze. The personal chimenea added a lovely touch for our evening s'mores by the beach. We felt right at home with the unique details in decor that immersed us in a relaxing atmosphere.

Delicious On-Site Cuisine

The dining experience was really good! We especially loved the breakfast offerings, complete with fresh pastries and good cocktails. Having a restaurant on-site made it easy to enjoy a variety of meals without the need to venture out. It truly enhanced our stay.

Luxurious Soaking Experience

The bathroom featured a walk-in shower that was a dream come true. The water pressure was excellent, and the luxurious toiletries made each shower feel like a spa treatment. I appreciated the attention to detail in the bathroom amenities that really elevated our experience.

Convenient Kitchen Setup

We were impressed with the well-equipped kitchenette in our room. Having the option to prepare some of our own meals while enjoying the fresh ingredients from local markets was fantastic. It allowed for a more personalized dining experience during our stay.
