Staff was great, we arrived in the area early and were allowed to check in, front desk was extremely friendly. This was a spacious and clean room. The view was better than described almost a full view of the ocean. The only slight complaint is that the bathroom in this room was tight but overall and 9 outta 10 and I would def recommend. And we didnt eat a whole meal in the resteruant but did get pasties and they were delicious!

Everything was incredible from check in to check out. The indoor pool was great. The room was very spacious and beautiful. Requested extra towels and blankets and received them right away. The only reason for the 3 star on cleanliness is because one of the sheets had dried up food on it, there was a foot print on one of the bed sheets and one of the bath towels had dirt still in it. BUT those werent reasons to write home about. We didnt complain because, simply, it happens! The staff was 10 out of 10! The stay was great and we will certainly book again!!! Thank you a great stay!

Unfortunately our room had no heat and we had to be moved to a non oceanfront room in an alternate building. The room we were moved to was nice but I really missed the ocean front balcony. My new view was a green pool.
