Staying at the Highlands Inn was like discovering paradise on Earth! The views were stunning and the privacy made it so relaxing. I loved the luxurious feel of the accommodations and the high-quality breakfast, but I did notice some of the older rooms had a bit of noise from above. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that's hard to beat.

My stay at this hotel was filled with stunning ocean views and a cozy ambiance thanks to the wood-burning fireplace in our room. While the service was kind and helpful throughout, I found the rooms to be a bit dated and not as luxurious as I expected for the price I paid. The dining experience was enjoyable with great food but a bit limited in menu options. The location is perfect for those wanting to explore the beautiful coastal area, but the outdated room condition brought my overall score down.
