The beach is beautiful directly in front of hotel. We wanted to love it but found it lacking. No conditioner, the pillows were hard, the bedside lamps were too dim to read by. It was explained that the water system was solar but we never had hot water over a 2 night stay.
The location is perfect. Boutique hotel on the beach. Small room but modern and comfortable. The office staff is very helpful, especially Amanda.
The restaurant is on a deck facing the beach with an excellent service and good food. Prices are reasonable.
Unfortunately they do not offer breakfast.
We had a great time and will be back!
The staff was good but didn’t go above and beyond at all, like explain to me where things were or could be found beside the PDF that was emailed. The room was fine. A woman pounded on my door at 1am trying to get in. Woke me up out of a dead sleep. She couldn’t figure out how to check in and thought my room was her room. I had to assist her and give her the number to reception after hours. That was startling. Maybe some sort of deterrent for that happening again. Overall a great place to stay. Solid. No breakfast but there are two places nearby.

The location is fantastic, right on the beach! However I would not recommend this hotel for a quiet vacation - the bar and restaurant play loud music all day and though the hotel says they have quiet hours after 10pm, there was loud music playing until 11pm every night, and some nights to 3am. We also had issues with our room - we booked an upgraded room and were placed in a very small room right next to the bar with no window. Other guests in our group booked lower priced rooms that were larger, quieter, and with outdoor areas. The staff apologized but didn't do anything to address the error.

We loved out room! Everything was very clean, the staff was very friendly and helpful and the grounds, restaurant and food were all fantastic.
Highly recommend!
Absolute paradise! Wonderful for a couples retreat. Friendly staff, from the security guard to the office staff, to the bartenders and waitstaff. Beach access at your doorstep. Can’t wait to return.
Great location near the beach great beach to swim or surf. Nice little area quiet several little places to eat breakfast lunch and dinner short drive to downtown recon
This was the coolest little spot! My husband and I went here to surf/relax and it did not disappoint. This boutique hotel was awesome. The room was so cool!! The shower was super nice, the bed really comfy, it was a perfect unique getaway. I would definitely recommend this spot. So cool!!!
