Pros - Beautiful architecture. - Comfortable bed. - Great water pressure. - Clean. - Excellent private beach. - Very friendly staff. - Perfect location for exploring near by area. Cons - Windows in room lead to hallway rather than outside so you have no natural light into the room. - Only had breakfast offered on Saturdays. For the price you pay for the room breakfast should be included. - There is virtually no soundproofing between the walls. Heard every conversation our neighbors had. Overall it’s an excellent lodge, but for the price I think you could find a better option that includes the things this place is missing.

Excellent location for a perfect relaxing getaway. The private balcony views of the beach and harbour, beach access and spacious rooms were a delight. We will surely stay here again in future visits.

We loved the property. However the pillows were not good for either of us & we were unaware we would have to do our own garbage & dishes. It was fine to do, just not made aware of until check in. That said, at that price renting an air b&b would have been the same & we would have had more rooms for others to be together.

For an off-season charge of $315 per night we got a tiny room with no exterior window and a door between rooms with no sound deadening. We could hear every word of conversation from our neighbors plus the lovely sound of one of them violently vomiting in the middle of the night. In addition we asked for restaurant recommendations and the desk clerks informed us that they didn’t really know the restaurants in the area. As for plusses, the bed was comfortable … that’s about it. We will not be returning.

Beautiful property with a private beach and common area grills and fire pits. The suites were spacious, clean and extremely well equipped with all kitchen necessities. We traveled as a family with a small toddler and found the noise levels to be a bit excessive; we could hear conversations and the tv in the adjoining room until late hours. The room had a bit of a strange odor, perhaps due to the carpet. All in all, a fine stay but would not recommend for families with small children, better suited for an older crowd.

Pros: Room size, Ambiance of the hotel, easy parking, good location, nice beach area; comfy bed Cons: Thin walls - we could hear conversation in the adjoining room; no breakfast; no coffeemaker in room; TV channels limited and not what was in the guide they gave us. (Coffee, tea, and hot choc available on first floor.)
