We liked the property because it was along the beach. Every morning and evening we walked the beach. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly. Any questions we asked they were eager to answer our questions. We had breakfast at the buffet which was very good. We found the hotel to be very clean.

Our room was spacious and functional. Lots of room for storage, I liked the magnification mirror in the bathroom. A Keurig coffee maker was in the room and the staff always left coffee pods for us, nice refrigerator. Maybe would have liked a microwave, but not a big deal. I would definitely recommend staying here the area and bike/walking paths are beautiful!

Housekeeping was exceptional; the team was incredibly friendly and ensured that everything was kept impeccably clean.
