Check in was super easy so was check out (didn’t even have to interact to check out just a key drop.) The room was really nice almost set up like a mini apartment more than the average hotel room. The private beach was right at the end of building easy access and nice to spend a few minutes in the sun taking in the view I caught the sunset and sunrise on the little beach both were beautiful for such an affordable room price. My only complaint was the bed felt obnoxiously high I’m about 5’2 and it was past my hips standing beside it I had to get a bit of run jump to get in it

I could see a beach I thought I could go onto, I checked out the property and the Room before paying, it wasnt mentioned that I couldnt sit bye or walk on the beach, there was a hidden sign that read beach closed then I realized why an orange tractor was parked before the beach started, I also noticed empty barrels. I couldnt breathe in my Room later that day and had to leave and sleep somewhere else.
