Newly remodeled, very clean. Nice views and secluded beach. Desk help didn’t know much about the area ( how to get to the beach across the road, didn’t tell us about steps to get to the casino instead of having to walk on the steep road. Didn’t tell us that we could park in an adjacent parking lot as the lot around the hotel is small and fills up. She was very pleasant.)
