Our child enjoyed all of the Winter photos around the property. Having the beach right there was a plus. Hotel itself is average at best. Beds and pillows were uncomfortable. Hotel nearby has live music nightly and is very loud until late into the night. You get what you pay for, though. Staff was friendly. Parking was never a problem.

The photos are deceiving. The pool had birds swimming in it. Our view was of another hotel being renovated. The patio was so small it felt like a ledge two people could not fit comfortably.

This was a quick end of summer trip before returning back to work. Have stayed here a couple times before as it it one of our favorites. Access to other locations nearby accessible by beach or street side. Everything is walkable and plenty to do from this location. Staff is very helpful and friendly and restaurant is affordable and clean. Would recommend to anyone.
