Great hotel, excellent staff, nice location
Very nice hotel. The staff was exceptionally friendly and attentive. They made us feel like they actually cared personally about our experience. The rooms were nice and spacious. We had the triple queen for our large family, and it had a balcony and plenty of room. The kids loved the pool. Very nice location close to the beach, easy to get to anywhere. Breakfast was good - the waffles were delicious - whatever batter they are using is better than most hotels. The only negative was the bed - it's going to be different for everyone - but for us, it wasn't quite right for our backs. We use a Tempur-pedic at home, and this mattress just didn't work quite right for us. But everything else was very nice.
