Great location, wonderful beach and easy access, hotel staff was friendly, hotel was clean but interior room decor is very outdated (bed sheets did not fit bed properly so always fighting with the sheet to stay on the mattress). Breakfast boxes are a great idea but the offerings didn't seem to be fresh. But overall we enjoyed our stay.

This was quite an unusual stay for us. Everything about the hotel was clean and efficient which is of course a good thing. However, it felt very sterile. Not much personality or anything especially unique about it. Basically, it is an efficiently run property that handles a large number of guests, predominantly families with children, without much fuss or chaos. Nice long beach area with plenty of chairs. Nearby restaurants were good as well.

Room #120 was on the main floor in a busy corner. We constantly had people walking and cutting through our patio area. Not peaceful or quiet. The room air conditioning made noise. And the elevator was right across from our room. Not a great room experience!
