Group trip
We (6 grown men) stayed overnight for a deep sea fishing trip the next morning. Beds were comfortable and a/c was cold. Fans were an added bonus. I’ll book this one again next time !"

For your added comfort, we've just added special ergonomic cervical neck pillows, one per each bed, in addition to regular bed pillows.
