We enjoyed a very clean room with an awesome shower. The balcony view of the beach was exactly what we hoped it would be. Direct access to the beach, a nice pool, with lounge chairs. A couple bbq grills and a covered area to retreat from the sun while taking in the ocean. All staff were friendly and accommodating. Most bang for the buck!
