Smashing time. My 11 year-old granddaughter & I (her 72 year-old grandmother) had a perfect 5 days. She loved the roof top pool, I loved the beach but we made it work. We both adored the hotel. We loved to go around the corner to Baytown, a different world. We both loved the food and the kind people.
