There is the indoor swimming pool and Jacuzzi. There are restaurants and a bar-and-grill within a 2 minute walking distance and not to mention the ocean, which is directly right across the street. This is an ideal place to stay.

It was supposed to be a deluxe room but it was just a basic room with a bit of extra room. No hair dryer and the beach view is a stretch, it’s more of a road view. Would not stay there again.

When ever I have stayed here in the past I have shown up n if my room was ready I was able to check in early regardless if it was before 3pm. I waited almost 5 mins for someone to help me n the lady was rude n just said check in isn’t until 3pm it was 2:20pm.
