We had a wonderful time. Everything was stocked and available for us and the room was clean. The beach was beautiful unfortunately it was a little too chilly so we weren’t able to fully enjoy all the amenities. I took advantage of the coffee and breakfast that they had available. The cleaning ladies were very helpful when we ran out of an item. The only bummer was the coffee machine broke, but it was a holiday and no one was available to come fix it until the next day which is understandable. I loved the cute little cookies they had available at the front desk. They were delicious!
