Breakfast in lobby was delicious and affordable. Good selection and friendly staff. Location on the beach was beautiful! Our partial beach view room was clean, comfortable and cute. The partial view wasn’t much though, blocked by part of the tower. Next time I’d get full beach view. Pool was nice and bartender was great! The hotel texted me often to make sure I was happy and enjoying my stay which was a nice feature I hadn’t seen before with other hotels.
