    It is a relaxing hotel with very modern interior design, convenient location close to the golf club, a whale watching tour, and restaurants. The room is tastefully decorated and brand-new. Terrific service, the breakfast was delicious and fantastic and they have free parking if needed. In fact, there is great internet.

    The location of the B&B was great, close to the coastal walk and within walking distance of the town center. It was convenient to explore the beautiful surroundings. Additionally, the hosts were very welcoming and provided us with helpful recommendations on what to do and where to eat in the area. Their suggestions made our stay even more enjoyable.

    The bed and pillows were too hard for my liking. It took away from the overall comfort of the room.

    Great Christmas dinner and delicious breakfast. The location is convenient to get to from the airport and close to some great hiking trails. The room was spacious and modern, with a comfortable bed.

    We had trouble finding a spot, and when we did, it was quite a tight squeeze. The hotel staff wasn't very helpful or accommodating when we asked for assistance.

    We had the best stay at this hotel. The hotel facilities were top-notch, including a pool area and a chilling area that made us feel right at home. The location was fantastic and was right on the doorstep of the beach and close to the cliff path, which offered amazing views of the coast. Additionally, the hotel had secure parking, making us feel safe throughout our stay. Lastly, the staff, especially the awesome hosts, were extremely friendly and helpful. They gave us great tips and recommendations on things to do, and the breakfast was delicious.

    Can't fault anything about it.

    The B&B's location is ideal, with the ocean just a stroll away and the whale walking path closeby. the rooms and bathroom are clean, cozy, and comfortable, with all the amenities you could need. the hosts are friendly and hospitable, and breakfast is delicious with a variety of options.

    The lack of parking space is quite inconvenient, and it can be quite difficult to find street parking nearby.

    We got so much value for our money at this B&B! The rooms were comfortable and had everything we needed. The location was perfect, right next to a beautiful walkway where we could spot whales if we were lucky. The hosts, Zeno and Marlene, treated us like family and made our stay so welcoming and enjoyable. Secure parking was also available as part of the package.

    Morning meal was great, but one thing that could make it even better would be to have a wider variety of hot breakfast options.

    We recently visited a bed and breakfast for a romantic escape. the rooms were very spacious and modern and the complimentary port was a great touch. the location was quite handy, near to a main road. We enjoyed the fruit and yogurt for breakfast and the custom-made to-order prepared dishes were very impressive. the hosts were extremely helpful with recommendations and even booked us on a boat tour.

    The bed and pillows were a bit too firm for our liking.
