charming bayshore getaway

warm welcome superb service beautiful pool

The bayshore beach visit was so lovely. Helen and moamen at the reception welcomed us warmly. the service was superb. we loved the lobby's wonderful space. It was perfect to relax alone or spend time together. the pool area was just beautiful!

the parking situation presented a challenge, it operated on a first come first served basis. i observed cars parked on curbs, and finding a space proved difficult. driving around became a waiting game.
