Our room was spacious, but quite dated. The mattress was terrible. There was no coffee in the room. Breakfast wasn't great. On our last morning, the fire alarm went off at 6:30AM and we had to evacuate. There was not a single staff member available to provide direction or communication about where we should go, what happened, etc. This is a major safety concern.

Best service ever. The staff was courteous conscientious kind helpful above and beyond the call of duty.Extra large room to spread out and enjoy ocean view. Most incredible Olympic size swimming pool for laps, another pool for fun, a baby pool, and the biggest hot tub which turned out to be the right size.
