Walked right out to the beach! Although we didn't use the pool, we walked by it and it was clean. Beds were comfortable and rooms were spacious. Staff was helpful in recommending places to eat. Would definitely recommend this place.
Steps from our door right onto the beach!
The sunsets are beautiful!
