I didn’t find anything wrong with my stay! From the super clean room, jacuzzi awesome in the room. The ocean view was great and got to see the sunset from outside the patio area. If you plan to go to the beach it’s about 10 min walk. The staff were friendly and helpful. I just wished I stayed extra days!
From the patio area. Lots of room for guests.
Hotel did not provide this. I bought it from home. I was celebrating my hubby’s bday!
