I had a great stay at this hotel! The rooms had a cool musician/singer theme, but they did get quite hot at night. The fridge with home-made Tiffin, fresh milk, and bottled water was a nice touch, all complimentary. The location was superb, offering a beautiful view of the beach and close to the town center for easy exploring.
