“I think this is a particularly good find on Lighthouse Beach, located in a quieter area yet still convenient to many restaurants. I was impressed by reports of exceptional cleanliness, a friendly staff, and, usefully, rooms that include a fridge and kettle for making coffee. I believe the sea views and complimentary bathroom products further enhance its appeal.”
