The location of this property is amazing!! You are very close to the beach and can easily walk to great restaurants to eat! What frustrated me is that they did not have enough staff (their words) to give clean towels or refresh the room as requested. To get replacement towels on day 2 of a 3 day stay and a quick sweep of the sand, seems reasonable in a $250/night hotel.
