Beautiful spot for a quick getaway

Very nice room with a good ocean view. No balcony/outdoor seating though. No ice machine, coffee maker or hairdryer. Nice oceanfront bar, but if you're looking for a quiet spot the music plays well into the night and is loud inside the room for those who are trying to sleep. Wifi was very weak. Easy ocean access. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
