It is a train lodge. I got a single cabin with a single bed. The room is a tiny one. It is ok for 1 night. Toilet and bathrooms are shared.

Really pretty and nice place with an amazing beach view! The restaurants next to the hotel are really nice too, which hold free live band shows sometimes!

It definitely pays for itself. The main advantages are the atmosphere (especially for photos), cheapness and proximity to the beach. The included breakfast is quite modest, but you can order something extra for an additional fee - it will still be cheaper than most other hotels.

We had booked the royal family room but upon check-in it turned out that the room had already been given to guests who were staying for multiple days. According to the hotel this was due to a system error. We were offered a caboose single room as a replacement. I saw on the trip website that the room was indeed still available and the price for an overnight stay was half of the royal family room. We did not accept this room and after insisting we were given a double royal room. The service, food and location were otherwise good but not getting the room you booked is annoying.
