The breakfast was just enough- not a complete hot breakfast but still had lots of options for just about anyone! The rooms are right on the beach and the walk to the beach is easy! Also the bar on site is amazing! Tim, the bartender, was friendly and knowledgeable! Highly recommend! We will stay here again
