I booked this property as had a 3 am flight so wanted to get some sleep before getting to airport at 1am. I would not have booked this property if I knew there was a loud DJ outside the rooms until 11pm. Impossible to sleep until then. On the plus size it has bar with a great view. Saw whales. Overall the staff were generally helpful although we did get mixed messages from different staff members. Appreciated the early check in and breakfast supplied early.
