Check in was quick and efficient. Our room was clean and very well stocked. My wife likes to have a couple of towels so she can dry her hair also and there were plenty of towels and other linens. Everyone from the front desk ladies to the room caretakers were pleasant and professional. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Comfy beds but walls are super thin and you can hear everything from your neighbors. Right on the beach in a perfect location! Hotel staff should always double check what rooms guests are in so you are not woken up in the middle of the night by another guest with access to your room. Room was clean though and great restaurants near by.

Room was clean but had some damages and mold around the shower. Mattresses were very old and hard. The side I slept on seemed like it had been the only side slept on and it felt like I was rolling down a hill. Room keys stopped working the second night and it took me almost ten minutes to find the person who was working the reception area to fix the issue. Convenience to the beach was nice. Parking situation was bad.
