"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! It is a lovely, family-owned place run by a couple who were incredibly welcoming and kind from the moment we arrived. The room had everything we needed, including air conditioning, a TV, hot water, and all the essentials for a comfortable stay. We also really appreciated having access to free filtered water, as well as tea and coffee. The location was very convenient, with several restaurants, laundry services, and other amenities within walking distance. One thing that really stood out was how accommodating the owners were. We had a later flight on our departure day, and the owner kindly allowed us to check out later, which was incredibly helpful. After checking out, we were also able to stay in the entrance area while waiting for our flight, which made the whole experience much easier and more comfortable. Overall, we’re very happy with our stay. This hotel has a warm, welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay!"

"Hotel was beautiful and in the best location! The pier for tour pickup is right out front and everything is within walking distance. Max greeted us at check-in and was super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The breakfast was great and filling, with an amazing rooftop view. The only negatives were: we had confirmed hotel pick-up, however no one was there when we arrived. I think just a miscommunication using the chat feature. The water pressure in the shower was low with no hot water, which was no biggie for us, but maybe a deal breaker for others. Would definitely recommend this hotel!"
