Great view from the room and the location is walkable to the beach. We saw dolphins from our room Two days in a row, the kids loved it. Breakfast had good options and open for a good length of time so we didn't have to rush in the morning. Water pressure in room was great for showering, water stayed hot and the AC units worked well. Staff was polite and friendly. Great location, not too far from areas of interest. Having a room separate from the living room and kitchen was a great and convenient feature.

The hotel is dated in some areas and could use some modernization. Breakfast was a plus and had a good selection. The last night I had to call the front desk for a barking dog next door. The were able to handle the situation. Overall I had a good stay and would return.
