We had a balcony and street view which was great! It was clean, staff were friendly and helpful. The negative was the air conditioning didn’t work properly. It was either freezing or too hot, not in between. No ice machines, however you could buy some. Housekeeping didn’t restock coffee or cups, however they did leave plenty of towels.

Perfect Vaca

Cant say enough good things about our stay. Our room was very clean & spacious, beds were very comfortable & the view was amazing! Waking up every morning seeing the sunrise on the ocean right from our bed not to mention beach access right out our door. The pool was also excellent, you could swim while enjoying the ocean view & sip on an adult beverage at the tiki bar or grab some fresh scooped ice cream in the lounge, play a game of giant pool or enjoy a night bonfire on the beach! Staff was very friendly too! Cant wait to go back!
