The location is incredible! Right on the beach. Just amazing views! However I had to change rooms because the bathroom sink was stopped up and gurgling black stuff up. The second room had the same problem with the sink. There’s cigarette butts all over the grounds. Trash is blowing around. The stay was supposed to be for quiet and relaxing peace. The other vacationers were very loud and stomping all night. Won’t be very likely to go back.
