Lovely modern hotel offering beautifully appointed rooms. Our room was an ocean view room and the view was spectacular. Comfortable beds, fridge, TV, nice bathroom. Walkable to the Pier Hotel or to town and nearby whale watching. Hotel has a pool onsite, restaurant and bar. Could be improved by offering YouTube on TV as limited TV options. Also no way to pay using Amex which was disappointing. But otherwise a lovely stay very friendly staff and would recommend!
