"Convenient to national park. Clean and Quiet location. More of a bed and breakfast style set up. Drive slow entering the property, can get bumpy. Ignore the purple key pad at entrance door, use e-keypad on door. Breakfast is granola bars and packaged pastries as stated. There is a breakfast and lunch deli just around the corner called lighthouse. "
"Generally clean and adequate. Parking was a long way from room - tiresome after long days. 2 pools closed for repairs. Never found the “close by” beach."
"We were here during the storm everything was closed around us the hotel fed everyone free for breakfast and dinners. Bummer the weather was so bad but they did not stop supporting us how they could."
"The breakfast food was healthy and good. The bathroom facilities are quaint - toilet and shower in one space - outside the room. Watch for a frog in the toilet! It did have an ocean view from the dining area. Very fun place if you're into alternative lifestyles. Enjoyed seeing the outdoor areas - garden, illuminarium, paths, many neat plants and trees. The frog and geko chorus at night would have kept me awake if I didn't use ear plugs. Good experience for one night! "
