Breakfast had good options, was always hot and well attended by the staff Pool and Hot Tub looked nice, did not use it. Had an ...

The location is incredible. Probably the best located hotel I have ever stayed at. Walk down to the sand is awesome, but I gotta say the room itself is pretty old and not the cleanest. A little too pricey for the room alone.
