Beautiful hotel, great location! Very close to a beautiful beach and the property was great. Rooms were spacious and very comfortable. The pool and lounges were amazing. If you want to be close to the strip this is a little further away but we were ok with that as this was a nice quiet stay. Hotel was a short walk to some great restaurants and decently close to the marina. Had a great stay.
