Area is great close to beaches and restaurants. Staff is very friendly. The bedding sheets and comforters could better quality and size wise. The sheets didn’t fit out queen bed and they felt scratchy. The landscaping wasn’t kept up especially around the pool and the play swing area. The pool itself was nice to swim in.

Easy check in, easy check out. Didn't have to ask for extra towels, they just came in and refilled it for us. Quiet and felt safe. The pillows stunk, had to put my t-shirt over the pillow case because it smelled like cigarettes' on one side, and like butt on the other.
