Nice clean comfortable room with gorgeous view of the ocean. Loved watching the sunset while sipping champagne on the balcony. While the accommodation is quite dated, the kitchen and bathroom has been modernized. Only call out is the bedroom curtain is quite thin, my son struggled to go to sleep with the light shining right in. And the shampoo/soap dispensers were empty but we had brought our own anyway. Definitely would stay here again.
