I had a mix of experiences at this hotel. On the positive side, the location is fantastic, just steps away from the beach, and the cottages are clean and spacious. However, the price I paid felt far too high for the quality of the accommodations, and the services I received were subpar. The issues with the restaurant and the overall maintenance of the place made my stay less enjoyable than I had hoped.

I had an unforgettable stay at Picard Beach Cottages! The location right on the water is simply stunning, with incredible views of the ocean. My cottage was spacious and clean, equipped with a full kitchen and air conditioning, which made for a very comfortable visit. However, the restaurant service could be slow, and the lack of certain amenities like shampoo was a bit disappointing. Overall, it's a wonderful spot for anyone wanting to enjoy the beach and cozy accommodations.

I found the service to be lacking as well, which was disappointing given the potential of this place.
