Bruce Canada

close to beach and restaurants. kitchen was well stocked. front desk staff was amazing! there was a nice mix of visitors that made for good conversation.

William United States of America

I loved the owner Sri, what a humble person. The kitchen is great and not too busy. The vibe is either serious, or party or surfing, you choose. Very age-friendly from kids to young ones. One tip for the owner, have ACs in all room and then charge if people want AC but not having ACs in the no cross ventilation room is a lose lose for everyone, I stayed 5 days in a room but I would have gladly paid to use the AC if it were in the room. I loved the owner and the staff Manon and Stacy at the reception they were very open and helpful.
