this hotel is awesome! the rooms are very spacious and open, with great views! we came as a big group and having a small kitchen was really helpful. The surrounding area of the rooms is also gorgeous. If you decide to stay in the hotel half the day, you will enjoy it! we also made bonfires every night and had a blast. The restaurant available is also very convenient with nice views.

Nice place overall.. the on-property restaurant was amazing. Only big qualms I had were that it was across the street from the beach, not a true beachfront. Doesn’t seem like that big of a deal until you get there and have to essentially to hike down the property from your room to get to the bottom of the property, cross a road and then hike down more to get to the beach. Not a fun time and especially difficult with kids. Our pull-out bed had a big nasty yellow stain on it- that’s always gross. Other than that, it was a pretty good stay.
