The staff is amazing let us pay for early checkin. When you come from the beach which is nearby they have a place to clean your feet. It’s in a great location across form “Macdonald” pronounce this way so the locals understand that is very useful when you have a 7 year old picky eater. The hop on hop off bus is great too and has a stop right in front!
