The hype
The location is unbeatable for clubbing and the design is beautiful, but the noise is a serious factor.

$150-250/ night
Book this if You want to stumble home from Finns Beach Club in 30 seconds flat and don't mind a bass-heavy lullaby.
Why People Love It
- Literal steps from Finns and Atlas Beach Clubs
- Boho-chic aesthetic that screams 'Instagram ready'
- Lucy, the resident mascot goose who patrols the grounds
Quick Take: A stylish, well-located crash pad for partygoers that trades silence for proximity to the action.
Reviewed by @fly_like_a_wasp: I stayed in the pool access suite and honestly, waking up and sliding the glass doors open to jump straight into the water was the highlight of my trip. The whole place has this effortless tropical vibe, and the plated breakfast was way better than typical hotel buffets.

- Premier Sunset Suite – comes with a private rooftop pool and better views
- Upper-floor suites – slightly more removed from the ground-level pool noise
Rooms to avoid
- Ground floor rooms near the road – zero privacy and maximum noise intrusion
- Rooms adjacent to the renovation areas (ask specifically about active construction)
Room Request Genie – copy & paste
“I'm staying with you soon and would love to request a room on an upper floor, as far back from the street/Finns as possible to minimize noise. If a room with a private plunge pool is available for upgrade, please let me know.”
