While we were there it was really bad weather. The surge of the waves and constant rain caused a lot of closures so we didn’t get the full beach experience or to see the “pretty” of the beach view with it being so stormy. But we made the best of it, ran along the beach anyways and the kids loved the bunk beds in the room. Check in/out was a breeze. I can tell we would have had a nice view if it wasn’t for the weather. Loved seeing and hearing the waves from our balcony and loved the direct beach access. The kids loved the arcade room. And the best part for us was the nearby dining and coffee options. Our favorite was the Hang Ten restaurant and I believe it was called the vault coffee shop!
