Great ocean view room, very spacious! Loved Drift bar/restaurant. Tiki bar drinks & food were good overall. Went to Armand’s circle twice and highly recommend it! My son noted the treadmills at the resort ran too fast for reported speed. Beach was good, some seaweed and rocks near the water. Overall, great stay!
