Awesome Bar and Café!

“I loved the attached restaurant and bar! The atmosphere is amazing, and we enjoyed drinks from the bar while lounging near the pool. The margaritas were a highlight of our stay. It's a great spot to unwind after a day of exploring.” view full review

Charming Retro Decor

“The decor in our room was absolutely adorable! The retro look with the 'cone' chairs and vintage details really took me back. My favorite part was the comfy bed with its low frame that reminded me of the 70s.” view full review

Cute Bath Area

“The bathroom was another highlight of the stay! The honeycomb tiles and quirky mosaic designs were good. It added to the overall retro charm and made me feel like I was visiting a nostalgic past.” view full review

Refreshing Pool Vibes

“The pool area is a wonderful spot to relax and enjoy the vibe. I felt like I was on vacation, floating around in the pool with a drink in hand. It really made the whole experience special, even if it was a bit chilly to dive right in!” view full review
