Great beachfront hotel

The previous reviews are correct, confirm you're staying in the beachfront hotel if that's important to you. We did, and everything was great. Clean, spacious, lovely balcony. Would stay again!

My hotel door was faulty which could not open. Since it was midnight, I believed notifying staff once would resolve my issue. However, it took several complaints and two hours to get the door to work.
