We loved our stay here. The space was inviting and fresh and the room was clean and updated. The salt water pool was a fun addition for the kids and there is a little sandy beach suitable for swimming just steps away from the hotel. There are also lots of great restaurants within walking distance. The breakfast was breezy, with decent variety. Highly recommend.
