The room is older in its aesthetic, but it’s roomy enough, the bedding and pillows are so comfortable. The view from our room wasn’t great (parking lot) and we were right above the trash area, so when we had our window open, we could hear the people tossing trash (sometimes very loudly) but it wasn’t a deal breaker. The staff made up for that, so kind, attentive, and awesome. Would recommend!

Beautiful location right across from the beach. Amazing sunsets. We got a great deal on a penthouse suite! You do have to pay for wifi if you are not a member. Limited dining options but full kitchenette so bring your cooler of food to make. Pool+Hottub+Fitness center also.
