We stayed mid April with our toddler so she could see the beach. Location wise it’s great, but the comfort of the room was lacking. Our A/C was fussy, the walls are thin, and the noise from the mini fridge and air when it kicked on was really loud and high pitched. And it may be because I’m pushing 40- the bed was not comfortable at all. Even my 3 year old moved and woke all through the night and she usually sleeps like a log. Price wise and proximity to the beach was good though. The heated pool was great and staff was friendly. I’m just glad it was only 2 nights.
