Our stay was nice. Great location to the activities we wanted to participate in. The room was warmer than we’d like and housekeeping wasn’t great. I would choose to stay again, though. The overall experience was good.

Nice stay. The ac was super cold, the room was clean, no excessively loud noises considering we were there for a holiday weekend. The breakfast was decent- kind of a miss for me, but thats only because I'm a vegan and there werent many options for my dietary restrictions. I wouldve liked to have seen some fresh fruit. Overall, it was a nice stay close enough to the beach, but far enough away to not be too noisy
