We paid for the partial ocean view room and got put on the first floor, which was fine, until we realized there were no curtains!! Only see through curtains and it was on the corner of a busy street.

Ocean view room was nice with a patio. The draw back was the busy road between us and the beach. Breakfast was part of the room. First morning it wasn’t ready at opening time. Sausage was cooked but gray, only hard boiled eggs, and had to ask the attendant to make a waffle and give you utensils.

The staff was great! Starting with Fred in reception, to the gals in the rec room. Our room was comfortable and breakfast was more than what we expected. The pool and jacuzzi really hit the spot. Beautiful buildings! Great location! Will definitely be coming back.
