Very nice rooms with a good ocean view. Paved walking path passes between the hotel and ocean. There are benches, tables and hammock chairs spotted along the way. Stairs from the path lead to a nice beach cove with a cave. Breakfast was above the standard serve yourself that is typical. Fresh fruit, berries, and very good coffee to name a few things. Five minute drive from the pier and restaurants. Will stay here again.
