Very average stay. You can tell the rooms haven't been updated in a while (lumpy pillows, tiles that move under your feet, regrouting needed, etc.), but still a nice place and conveniently located by the water. I'd suggest a double layer of curtains to help with the sun shining through in the morning. We stayed during nonpeak season, so the price was worth what we received.

Oceanside rooms are the way to go. Waking up to the ocean right outside your balcony is the best. Our room was ready ahead of time which made our whole trip much easier.
