Breakfast was lovely, room was practical and the staff were lovely- one person went above and beyond by driving my friends to their hotel when they couldn't get an Uber after the event we attended

NOAH'S On The Beach
Beautiful location with the beach across the street. Staff very friendly and the rooms were serviced nicely each day. The rooms are somewhat older and could use a freshening up but it didn't take away from the experience,
