Loved the roll in shower. ! Loved the beach tho very tiny. Loved the pool & restaurant. People/staff & in restaurant were personable & helpful. I thank you for that. Sofa had blood on arm, one seat cushion was nasty, whole sofa need cleaning. Ugh! Bathroom wall had brown yuck running down it on left side going in. Wish maid service had been explained a bit more. Patio had French fries , orange slices & other food & a bazillion ants on door threshold. I sprayed my Lysol on some of the ants. I called front desk to vacuum patio & they did get -some -of food up. Not sure I would return.

Fantastic! Hotel was perfectly located on a beautiful beach, rooms were very clean, beds were comfortable, staff was friendly, pool was clean. The area seemed very safe too. Only negative was the price per night for parking and the narrow parking spots, but there was always was available spots to park. Every local hotel charged that same price for parking. I’m hoping to come back next summer too.
