This is a great place to stay. It has a pretty ocean to look at but when we were there the winds were high and on that side of the island they do get high winds. But it was very convenient because you have many incredible restaurants right next door with a supermarket easy parking safe and quiet. The restaurants are easy to get last minute reservations and easy for takeout with a kitchen being in your room. Staff is incredible! Now personally the best beach to go hang out is across the island at mullet Beach. Water is clear and easy especially at Da WaterHole. But you would be next to the airport and would not want to stay close by with all of the planes that come and go. Beds are above average room has nice AC and blackout curtains.
