The hype
Guests appreciate the pool and the friendly owner, but often feel misled by the distance to the beach and lack of on-site dining.
The White Rock Hotel B&B
$50-85/ notte
Prenota se You have a rental car, a tight budget, and prefer a home-base with a kitchen over a beachfront resort.
Perché piace così tanto
- Budget-friendly rates compared to beachfront resorts
- Year-round outdoor pool and garden area
- Access to a shared kitchen for self-catering
In sintesi: A functional, no-frills crash pad near the highway that works best if you treat it as a dormitory rather than a vacation destination.
Recensito da @adoseofteri: I checked into The White Rock and was immediately obsessed with the vibe. From the welcome glass of wine to the cutest branded tote bag on my bed, every detail felt curated for me. The pool area is quiet and perfect for getting those sun-soaked shots.
