Great beachfront hotel
The previous reviews are correct, confirm you're staying in the beachfront hotel if that's important to you. We did, and everything was great. Clean, spacious, lovely balcony. Would stay again!

We had a great time! The facility was clean and the pool was clean. The service was good! The room and pool both could use some updating, but that did not take away from our trip. Overall, I would stay here again.
