Stayed just one night but my partner and I really enjoyed the stay. Staff was really nice and we really appreciated being upgraded to a room closer to the beach view. The room was clean and cozy and the view from it was amazing. We only had a slight issue with not getting anything to play on the TV, seemed like a signal issue but nothing we stressed about. We look forward to staying here in the future.
