The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location was perfect right near the beach and walking distance to the fun zone and shops. The Continental breakfast was ok. The room itself was clean but , was very hot and noisy at night. I think this hotel is geared towards a younger crowd but definitely worth a visit.
