Perfect—and thanks for the heads up. Now, onto the good stuff: Tell us about the digs.Guest rooms with names like Mar evoke images of the Atlantic just beyond the doorstep. The decor looks as though it was decorated by a friend; potted plants and white furniture gives the wood walls an airy touch. How about the little things, like the mini bar, or the shower goodies? What made your stay more comfortable?Complimentary breakfast, plus tea and coffee throughout the day. That's always a nice perk. What's the food situation?Although there's no restaurant or room service, there's a handy communal kitchen. Tip: stock up on provisions from a weekly farmers market. We'll do just that! How about the staff? Did they help ease you in?The friendly staff here quickly feels like new friends. Excellent. Anything else you think we should take advantage of?Check with the hotel about offerings like the popular surf-and-yoga package. And be sure to kick back on the tiny terrace. We will.
