Love the property overall. Well maintained. Great beach. Very hospitable and helpful staff! Super convenient location, SO close to the airport but NOT noisy at all from the planes. A couple of minor issues: opt for an inside facing room. We choose a "city view" room and the noise from the street over the weekend was enough to make me use ear plugs. Also, we had to keep calling housekeeping to bring more towels, for whatever reason they kept leaving less towels than we had people (we had 2 registered guests in the room, they left 1 bath towel a couple days in a row).
