Staying here was lovely and convenient. Unfortunately our room shared a wall with the kitchen so there was a lot of noise from that. Also noise from local bars with non-local music wasn't ideal but that's out of their control. Otherwise it was enjoyable!

Enjoyed our stay

Great location, right on the beach. Nice room, pool right outside the door and restaurant/bar on the property (lunch and dinner several days per week.) well-equipped room, but a little disappointed that no beach chairs or umbrellas were provided or even available from the hotel. We were able to rent two chairs and an umbrella from a service a short distance down the street, but that added $25 per day. Also, the hotel WiFi needs work; it is spotty, depending on the time of day and where you’re located. On the whole, we were happy with our stay and would return, but a few little improvements would make it great.

Great quality and location

The location is really great if you like to be tucked away from downtown Rincon. The beach proximity is also fantastic . The water there can be on the rougher side so perhaps not the best if you aren't a great swimmer but it's still just a short drive to many other beaches. Restaurant was also excellent, especially the service there.
