Beach view was wonderful! Staff was very helpful and friendly. AC was ok, a little difficult to understand, slow to respond, but ok. Location was great. Restaurant was good but could add a few items. Fish was not local, probably frozen and sometimes a little fishy flavor. Could sit on balcony and listen to and watch the waves forever!
