Good size clean room with comfortable bed. There were chairs so that you could sit immediately outside the room to watch the ocean, and in our case a terrific lightening display. Did not use the pool. Good restaurant next door and another a few hotels walk along the road. Only negative was breakfast which was very basic, bagels, toast, basic cereals, only fruit was an apple and all in a room which isn't really big enough.

Lovely modern room, very clean. BUT there is no sound proofing between rooms. Noise from surrounding rooms is terrible. Don’t stay there unless you’re prepared to put up with it. At a cost of £225 for one night I would have expected to not have to listen to other people’s noise
