Ala Mar by the Sea

8/10 Good
"The location was perfect for a beach retreat. I booked in the Fall to get the best summer rate which was 1/3 the cost if I had booked in the summer. The bed was comfortable and the room seemed pretty clean (except for the broom, dustpan, and dirty rag on the chair) until the light was better the next morning...The walls looked like they were splattered with wine when the sun came up and we had not drank anything but water. 😒 🤔"
